Power Point with a story

I just finished reading a Toastmaster's International magazine article about the use of Power Point and story. The author was making stated that power point can be useful when presenting a financial topic, but telling the story of the financials is just as important. His suggestion is to figure out what it is the data is saying and then tell that story, throw out any slides or data that does not pertain to your main story. "Tell your story with simplicity and carity." Numbers can help but you can't forget the story or your audience is likely to forget the message.

Use the power of story to point out the important data in your presentation.
