Bullet Points
By Danielle Nocon

2. HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!
Don't even THINK
about reaching for
those bullet points!

to be guilty of
causing Death by
PowerPoint?

5. I should think not!

6. But have no fear.

require voodoo.

13. Blogs are like sharks

14. Now, suppose you feel that each bullet
sub-point is important enough to
warrant its own slide.

15. Rinse and repeat

17. A shark must keep
moving or die.
A blog must be regularly
updated or it too will die.
How often should you
update your blog?
Some successful blogs
are updated once a
week, others several
times a day.
The key is to be consistent.

24. Finally, let's try
something a bit
more challenging.

because I nearly
missed learning
about fascinating
and important
developments in the
realm of organizational
leadership – due in great
part to a dull PowerPoint.
See for yourself…
