At Ethos3, we’ve always sought to educate and inspire presenters with our web content and blog posts. We believe that when people are equipped to raise their presentation game, we ultimately win, too.
To the uninitiated, making the journey from plain white backgrounds and lots of text and bullet points to visually engaging, professionally organized decks can seem like a walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. But take it from us: the most important thing is paying attention. When you learn simple design tricks, you see how even the pros apply them everywhere around you. When you invest time in storytelling, you notice the voiceovers and ad copy while you watch TV.
