Real talk: Has PowerPoint aged out of the conversation??
Someone told me the other day that PowerPoint kind of dated me—after I shared what I do.
“𝗜 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻… 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁? 𝗜𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳… 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱?”
I’ll be honest—it caught me off guard.
Sure, PowerPoint’s been around forever. But it’s still 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 in today’s workplace:
📊 Presentations
🗣️ Sales pitches
💬 Internal comms
🧠 Strategic storytelling
(And yes—it’s still installed on nearly every business computer for a reason.)
But instead of brushing off the comment—𝗜 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀.
We had a great conversation. And after hearing what he actually needed (you guessed it, a clear, compelling, visual story), I asked if I could show a few examples of my work.
And once I shared my screen … 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱.
He went from skeptical to “𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁—𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁?”
That moment reminded me: It’s not about the tool.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.
So here's to challenging assumptions and transforming “old” tools into extraordinary experiences.
