The World of Presentations

A few years ago, our next guest made a sharp industry turn but hasn’t looked back ever since. No wonder! There’s so much to explore in the presentation field. This is what hooked Heather Lammie to TeamSlide, the fantastic software making your PowerPoint slides searchable. Heather is Marketing Consultant at TeamSlide and is actively engaged in helping people optimise their time spent in PowerPoint. She and her team recently launched a very interesting new product called Slidefinder, which she talked us through in episode 113 of the World of Presentations podcast. Her LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherlammie/ You can find Slidefiner at Teamsli.de or in PowerPoint by clicking Get add-in.
