A confession and a secret…
I confess - I used to be guilty of inflicting boring presentations on potential clients UNTIL I figured out how to use features that are built right there into PowerPoint but which no one knows how to exploit.
The secret - I reveal all, in detail, in my book Relational Presentation: A Visually Interactive Approach!
For the past 10 years I have been developing and refining the use of these features in PowerPoint and now I’m sharing all my secrets with you.
No more Death by PowerPoint!
A lot has been said lately about 'Death by PowerPoint' but really it is
Death by boredom…
Death by lack of involvement…
Death by attention to the Blackberry…
You lose the audience and end up dissatisfied. This is bad enough for a presenter with a secure job, but a DISASTER for someone whose income depends on communicating effectively.
So what’s the Cure?
WARNING! Don't read on if you are 100% happy with your presentations! But if, like most of us, you think "there must be a better way", you are right. There is - and it is not in some fancy new technology!
It is called Relational Presentation, or Visual Interactivity.
It’s a way to present that automatically gets people involved, paying attention to you. This boosts your confidence as a presenter and, guess what? … most people who have tried it start to find that they actually enjoy presenting. Sometimes for the first time in their lives!
Too good to be true? No!
Can you do it in PowerPoint? Yes!
Easier said than done? Of course, otherwise everyone would know all about it!
Yes, it does involve some work when you are preparing your slides, but the benefits are tremendous, and the time you save afterwards pays for itself over and over. My book and the related on-line materials that come FREE with it take you step-by-step through what you need to do. (And, if you want live help, that is available too!)
When you put in that work, you reap rich rewards, as the following consultant has done already.

Anyone who uses PowerPoint needs Relational
Presentation: A Visually Interactive Approach
by Robert
Lane. Interesting, well organized, and fun to read, the book shows how
to make the presentation software you already own follow you instead of
the other way around. It stands on its own or acts as a review and
expansion of Mr. Lane’s workshops.Say 'No' to Poor PowerPoint
I’m sure you hate poor PowerPoint presentations as much as I do. Let’s bring life back to PowerPoint and pleasure back to presenting!
This Is So Important If You Depend On Effective Presentations!
To picture how Relational Presentation works, imagine yourself in front of an audience... You are in the flow of your presentation and someone asks a question. Instead of saying, as most presenters would, "I'll come to that later" or blanking out your slides while you deal with it, you say "Let me show you this..." upon which, in just a couple of clicks of your mouse, you go to material that illustrates the answer to the question. You then immediately switch back to where you left off.
Sales professionals can use this technique to ANSWER OBJECTIONS and JUMP TO THE CLOSE before the crucial moment passes
Have you felt an audience warm to you? It’s a great feeling, isn’t it? It happens to Relational Presentation presenters time and time again as they flow in and out of their message themes as described above. My book shows you step-by-step how to set up your presentations to make this kind of marvelous connection with an audience possible. Read what Pastor Will Nelken says:
|
It also promotes a liberty and effectiveness for knowledgeable presenters that will garner them greater respect and satisfaction in their craft. This is good news for presentation designers and their audiences. I have just begun to apply the most basic techniques and already am seeing their positive impact and receiving affirmative feedback from my audiences. ~~Rev. Will Nelken |
This material awakens and promises a new
dimension, perhaps a new era, of audience-guided,
interactive
presentations, requiring little more, in terms of technology, than
PowerPoint itself.That’s right!
When you
enjoy presenting, your
audiences will enjoy it too.

Something for everyone
One thing I’d like to stress is that in the years I have been teaching Relational Presentation techniques to people in workshops, everyone without exception has benefited in some way. Many find that by using the techniques they discover a sense of liberation from the straitjacketing experience of PowerPoint’s linear structure:
|
A successful presenter is able to make a real connection with an audience, achieving clear communication of ideas and concepts. By following the methods detailed in this book, you'll learn how to prepare and deliver a visually-rich, non-linear presentation - one that truly connects with, and engages, your audience. ~~Julie Terberg |
|
Since I had designed several classroom websites and found the navigation/linking system perfect for teaching, complex non-linear material, I thought, “Wow!” This process really should be used in live presentations with PowerPoint. I have read his latest book, Relational Presentation: a Visually Interactive Approach and it is brilliant. Lane presents the principles and construction of non-linear PowerPoint presentations, an entirely new approach to live education. I have since incorporated his methods into all my PowerPoint shows. I highly recommend this approach to anyone who is serious about utilizing PowerPoint for a multilevel, complex, and flexible education and presentation system. His book will excite you and your presentations will thrill your audience. There is no end to what you can do with relational PowerPoint presentations. ~~Stan Tatkin, Psy.D. |
When I first came across Robert Lane’s
relational presentation approach to PowerPoint I immediately thought of
web design.Go the whole way
If you want to go the whole way and bring your presentations to life, to make them become a real, interactive event which will be talked about and remembered by your audience for a long time to come, then you need to make a complete shift in the way that your presentations are organized.
Laying it all out
In my book Relational Presentation: A Visually Interactive Approach, I lay out TEN YEARS worth of experience of development of the Relational Presentation techniques. In it, you will discover how flexible and interactive delivery gives speakers total control of slide display makes possible many wonderful delivery options:
-
If time is running out, slides can be skipped without the audience even knowing.
-
If a specific slide in another show is needed, a speaker can jump to that show, display the slide, and then return to exactly where she left off in the current show.
-
Question and answer sessions become visual. The speaker can say, “Let me show you something that might help answer that question.”
-
Collections of company resources (video, pictures, product specs, etc.) are accessible from every slide.
-
Trainers can be highly-organized and systematic with their training materials and yet drill down into detail, show examples, or otherwise interact with trainees.
-
Sales professionals are able to jump to the ‘close’ at any time, handle objections (visually), cross-sell products and services, and continually adjust a sales presentation to the conversation (or opportunities) of the moment.
-
Executive presenters can project significant expertise simply by navigating within a large network, subtly showing the extent of company products and experience.

"The relational approach is like having your entire brain inside a computer. This is one of the most powerful business tools I’ve ever seen." I have always believed that the best teachers were those who could simplify a complex principle. Robert Lane has managed to make communication quicker and easier for all of us. Without his innovations dedicated to making our public and private presentations more effective and useful, we would still be struggling to get our points across. ~~Dr. Marshall W. Northington |

Think for a moment what this knowledge could do for you
In your company, in your consultancy, in your church, school, university, what could Relational Presentation do for you?
Here’s what it has done for some people:
|
The ‘resources section’ makes it easy to jump out of the presentation for ‘commercial breaks’ to help re-focus attention. I have had other presenters sit in on my class, who afterwards ask how I did that…I really enjoy talking about your techniques. I have to resist telling them everything I can. ~~Anthony Ruiz |
|
I created an index page for my principal and assistant principals to use for the numerous PowerPoint presentations they share at the beginning of school. It worked great! They were very impressed and the transition from one presentation to the next was seamless. Thank you.416 page, ~~Shelly Flowers |
|
I am inspired by your vision of Relational Presentation concepts to enhance the level of our communication. Having spent all of my adult life in sales or sales leadership I have a first hand appreciation for the work that you’re doing at Aspire… I found myself as excited as a kid in a candy store. ~~John Edmondson |
|
I have already implemented your 'switchboard' idea and it works a treat!....very impressed!! This is the best way I've found to interact closely with the audience and to get their buy in to the process. I won't ever go back to the linear, boring type of presentations. ~~Althea McGuigan |
The
cost of figuring out these
techniques for
yourself would be
enormous
It has taken me TEN YEARS of research, real-life development and testing with small groups of people to be certain that the material I give you in the book will take you through the learning process efficiently, bypassing the obstacles I had to overcome (just how do you jump back at any point to the place you left off in your ‘main’ presentation?) and deliver you at the end with a quantum leap in your skills as a presenter. I can guarantee that you cannot afford to do that for yourself!
The cost of the book – plus the free resource materials you will be able to download from my website – will pay for itself many times over.
There are other costs you avoid too:
|
I’ve tried doing this with Macromedia Director but production costs are very high. The reality of the matter is that PowerPoint is everywhere and cheap. To make it workable for my clients, I’ve got to make it work in PowerPoint. ~~Wayne Kocina |
|
Relational Presentation hits on target. I’ve been caught before giving a 45-minute executive presentation, to find at the mid-point that I’ve only got five more minutes to conclude. Structuring the presentation as relational would have saved me. ~~Ron Clark |

making your presentations a visual conversation that will really engage your audiences
-
skipping slides if time is running out without the audience even knowing
-
collecting together company video, picture, product spec resources and making them accessible from every slide
-
jumping to the close of a sales presentation just when the moment is ripe
-
and many other things, including building your confidence as a presenter
All you need is PowerPoint and my book to show you how to organize your slides and change your presentation skills.
