The article focuses on the use of software like PowerPoint in training programs. Training professionals' main tasks is to motivate and support changes. In order to master their presentation and speaking skills, they often enlist the help of presentation coaches and software such as PowerPoint. However they need to push more in order to motivate participants. No doubt that PowerPoint is more than helpful, but there are several hidden traps in it and the world around us that reduce the effectiveness of almost every presentation we see and make. The human mind knows the linear structure of a typical PowerPoint slide well, quickly recognizes it, and wanders off to do something else, and consequently loses interest in it. Some presenters spice up the slide with some clip arts, but the best solution is to break up the linearity. Also, it should be noted that participants simply cannot process loads of charts and reports from a presentation as they can from a book. A presenter must limit the amount of time he spends on each slide to between 30 and 60 seconds.
