Make your decks more you
Transforming your slide decks from generic to genuinely captivating is simpler than you might think, and the key lies in personalizing the visuals in your presentations.
The typical approach often involves using stock photography—generic images of actors pretending to be part of a narrative - and for some reason, they all seem to be WAY too happy or upset doing day-to-day things :)
However, this standard practice feels like you’re simply checking a box and it feels stale.
By incorporating your own images, you shift from a generic portrayal to a presentation that's genuinely yours, which makes your visual narrative more engaging.
When your audience sees you in action, rather than a stock photo of strangers, it fosters a stronger connection. They're not just looking at visuals—they're getting a glimpse into your world, your work, and your passion.
This personal touch draws your audience closer, making your message resonate on a deeper level.
Replacing stock photos with your own pictures turns your presentation into a compelling visual story. This isn’t about embellishing your slides with visual elements - it’s about enriching your stories with real snapshots of your life and work.
The transition from impersonal stock images to personalized photography does more than just enhance the aesthetic appeal of your slide decks. It transforms your presentation into an immersive experience.
Your audience isn’t just passively receiving information - they’re engaging with your story on a personal level.
They’re also proof of your journey, evidence of your expertise, and illustrations of your narratives.
By integrating these images into your decks, you’re inviting your audience to connect with you and your message in a meaningful way.
Take a moment to review your decks.
Identify those places where generic stock photos currently reside and imagine how much more impactful your presentation could be with images that truly represent you and your story.
This shift towards more personalized and authentic visual storytelling doesn't just make your presentations better—it makes them memorable.
