CC Project #8 is often a low point in a Toastmaster's journey. Why? Powerpoint!
Why a Toastmaster feels compelled to use Powerpoint when the project objectives simply call for 'visual aids', I'll never know!!
The way most people use PP is almost the opposite of visual. Words and text are not visual objects. Verbal and visual information is processed in different parts of our brain.

Remember, slides are free! It's better to create 100 of visual slides with little text than 10 slides of bullets, bullets and more bullets.
Now shoot me!
