Training and the Age of Visual Communication
Bruce is on a mission to convince business leaders to treat visual communication as a critical 21st century business skill. Poor PowerPoint is just a symptom of a larger problem — the undeniable effectiveness of visual communication combined with the complete lack of training offered to business professionals.
Bruce's first book, Speaking PowerPoint: the New Language of Business, casts a beacon light on the distance between the way business persons use PowerPoint today and what research says about effective slide design. Based on 40 years of research, Speaking PowerPoint provides a 12-step method for business managers who want to use PowerPoint to sell their ideas more effectively in the boardroom. Bruce is now working on a second book, focused on harnessing the irresistible pull of storytelling as the foundation for better business presentations.
