A short transcript of a TJ Walker live-stream where he argues that presenters should build two separate artifacts: (1) projection-only slides (images, one idea per slide, minimal/no text) for live audiences and (2) a text-heavy document (PowerPoint with Notes or a Word handout) for emailing. He further recommends always emailing two attachments (the detailed document and a video of the presentation or rehearsal) so remote viewers can hear and experience the talk.

Questions this video answers

One email with two attachments: (1) the detailed document (PowerPoint with Notes or a Word document/handout) and (2) a video of you giving the presentation (rehearsal or venue recording).

What do you do if someone asks.
You to email your presentation either before a conference or after the conference? This is a big problem. And this is in fact why so many people make horrible slide decks and give horrible presentations. Because they want something that stands on its own as a document that can be emailed and is also something they can project.
And you're trying to cram two different.
Functions into one thing. Doesn't work. If you've listened to previous episodes, you've heard me espouse a theory that you should really have two separate presentations. One that you're projecting that consists exclusively of images, one idea per slide, no text. And another one that you're emailing to people that you are making available that you're perhaps giving as a handout. This can have lots and lots of text, lots of detail, complexity, complex slides. So if someone says, email me your presentation, email them, not just the images. And that's the problem. If you only provide images or you only create images, if you have to send it to them in advance, they're not going to make any sense to someone if you're just sending them five or ten images. On the other hand, if you just send the text that's information about your topic, it's not really your presentation. So here's the strategy I use.
Very few people use it, but you.
Will stand out as a real pro and engage people at a much deeper level. Someone asks you to email your presentation in advance, send them one email, but send them two attachments. In one attachment, I would give the PowerPoint that has either the Notes section.
Or the Word document with lots and.
Lots of words, text complexity. I would also send them a video of you giving your presentation. Now, if it's before the presentation, just send them the video of your best rehearsal. This way they can hear what you're going to say, they can experience it, they can hear your voice, they can see you, they can hear your stories. This is especially powerful after the presentation. Now, if your presentation is being videotaped at the venue, then use that video.
But if you don't have it or.
There'S no time, just use your practice video. It might even be a little shaky because you've just held up your own cell phone when doing it. Guess what? That's better than nothing. Some video of you speaking on your topic is better than no video. And that's really the best way to get extra mileage, extra eyeballs, connect with.
More people, educate more people about your ideas.
Send them one email, two attachments.
The document, the PowerPoint document or the word document with all the data and words.
A second attachment. A video of you literally speaking.
