Ep 76: This One PowerPoint Shift Will Level Up Your Freelance Presentations
I used to think PowerPoint was just “click From Beginning and go, until a clumsy moment in a client session made me realize the real problem wasn’t my slides, it was my lack of control. That’s when I discovered PowerPoint has multiple presentation modes—windowed, Presenter View, screen selection, and Reading Mode—and each one changes how you manage your content, your screens, and your audience’s experience. Now, instead of forcing one setup every time, I choose based on the situation: a simple windowed view when I need everything in one place, a multi-screen Presenter View for a polished delivery, precise screen selection to avoid sharing the wrong content, or Reading Mode for low-pressure review. The game-changer isn’t just knowing these features exist; it’s using them intentionally so your tech supports your delivery instead of distracting from it.
