In this podcast, we cover the importance of starting your presentation design with a great title. If you start with a narrow and "audience-focused" title, the entire presentation will practically write itself.

This week, we have two new TechFinds which allow you to reduce the presentation peripherals and make delivering your slideshows more convenient.
