Don McMillan — A PowerPoint Proposal

If you haven’t heard of Don McMillan and you use Microsoft PowerPoint, I highly encourage you to seek him out. His videos on YouTube are priceless. I came across the following years ago and posted it to my Microsoft blog (which has since disappeared). Thanks to the Internet Wayback Machine, I can pickup critical things like this that I have shared with people over the years.

This video is a great example of how to use PowerPoint (and just because you can use PowerPoint doesn’t mean you should use PowerPoint). It’s about 3 minutes in length — 1st minute shows a good presentation without PowerPoint, (but I DO NOT condone PowerPoint for this type of proposal EVER) then a bad presentation example and tips on how/when/why to use PowerPoint.

If you enjoy this, you should check out his Life and Death by PowerPoint videos on his YouTube Channel.
