@tonyperry @academicchatter brush up on your presentation skills 🔥 ASAP 🔥, well before you even get an invite.

The job talk is one of *the* most important aspects of the interviews, and a #DeathByPowerpoint won't cut it.

You've been told to put presentation skills on the "backburner" for years, so it's time to catch up ASAP. The job talk needs to be well-designed and engaging.

p.s. I have a job talk/teaching demo playlist on my channel 👉 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrllfQHPFLPkS9x9MZiBAj2Bp-hBrr35Y

If you're ready to take accessibility off the "back burner" and prioritize it, then I'd love to help. (I'm Dr. Echo Rivera, by the way 👋, academic presentation coach )

2 ways you can get started:

My free training: https://stellarslides.com/free-training

Me: newsletter: https://echo-rivera.ck.page/a80d2cbff2

You can also just DM me if you're interested in training or 1:1 coaching.

Let's end #DeathByPowerpoint and move towards #InclusivePresentations together!

...if we reframe that, it means you're putting ~accessibility~ on the back burner.

Or, worse, it's saying "if my audience wanted to learn the material, they'd just get over their accessibility needs & do it."

Now we start to see bad presentation design for what it is: an inclusion & equity issue. 🔥

My stance: #DeathByPowerpoint is more than a punchline. It creates exclusionary, isolating, and inequitable learning environments.

New handle, new #introduction!

I haven't illustrated for a really long time.Testing out a new workflow and drawing style.

What better first image to share than me saying the #1 #PresentationSkills tip I have to share:

📣 #DeathByPowerpoint is not actually PowerPoint's fault.

If you want to create visually engaging presentations, the solution isn't to look for a new app.

You're just as likely to create bad slides in Canva, Prezi, or Google slides. 👏

PPT is actually a great tool...If you use it right. 😉😁

#Academia

Many presentations are already painful because of #DeathByPowerpoint (with over-reliance on slides with only bullet points).

But I find it equally painful by how many meetings/presentations become tedious because of AV issues which are often because it’s the first time someone is using that particular setup.

Professional #academic presentation coach and trainer here 👋

"Using minimal slides" is one of the main causes of #DeathByPowerpoint.

Fewer slides leads to all kinds of problems from too info much on a slide, small font sizes, and more.

So, together let's that advice and throw it in the bin 🗑️💪.

Use as many slides as you want.

How to stay within a time limit? Practice (ew, I know).

Hello Masto, I'm Dr Echo Rivera.

An #AltAc who decided to help academics/researchers create more engaging talks and lectures.

For me, it's about accessibility and inclusivity.

#DeathByPowerpoint is a funny punchline, but it's also inaccessible. It creates barriers and we need to take it more seriously.

I'm here to help.

🙏 Give this a boost & follow me if you'd like tips for creating #BetterPresentations.

AMA (I prob have a blog/video that can help).

The office switched from Google Slides to PowerPoint recently. I’m killing myself with these subtle UI/UX changes

Like holding SHIFT + MOVING an object in PP doesn’t move it along a straight line like every other app. Holding OPTION doesn’t resize an object from centre 😤😭
