Further reading

To help you learn more about some topics covered in this chapter, here is a list of references you can read:

To learn more about what audiences have to say about annoying PowerPoint presentations, I suggest you read the results of a survey conducted by my friend and colleague Dave Paradi for almost 20 years now. Have a look at his website here: https://www.thinkoutsidetheslide.com/free-resources/latest-annoying-powerpoint-survey-results/.
If you want to dig deeper into the three-step model discussed in this chapter, you should read Resonate by my brilliant colleague, Nancy Duarte. She did an awesome job of researching how the most impactful speeches should be structured. You can even find the e-book on her website here: https://www.duarte.com/resonate/.
