| PowerPoint’s renewed relevance reminds us that tools matter—but only when paired with strong ideas. In this issue, we explore why PowerPoint is suddenly cool again, not because of trends alone, but because it continues to support clear thinking and purposeful communication. That naturally leads to the art of
storytelling, where structure, emotion, and intent turn slides into messages people remember. And behind every polished presentation is something more practical: ensuring the technology simply works, from file associations to smooth workflows. Together, these perspectives highlight a simple truth—great presentations succeed when creativity, narrative, and reliability come together seamlessly. |

| Suddenly, PowerPoint is Cool |
| |
 |
| |
| Don’t get me wrong; I never thought that PowerPoint was not cool. I never bought into the idea that you could kill a presentation, just by using PowerPoint. It is just a tool—its success depends on the user. But that hasn’t stopped the death by PowerPoint crowd. Janay Kingsberry’s new Washington Post article suggests the media might finally think
PowerPoint is getting cool. |

| The Art of Storytelling: Presentations Are Corporate Storytelling |
| |
 |
| |
| Storytelling is the most important facet of effective presentations. Unfortunately, in the age of PowerPoint, many presenters rely too much on technology and forget how important stories are. To get the results you’re looking for, build your presentations on a foundation of great stories—not the other way around. |

Change Your Thoughts: by Dr. Marcia Reynolds
"For years, “Change your thoughts, you change your behavior” was the mantra for life improvement. Through experience and science, we have since learned that affirmations rarely change behavior when emotions have taken the wheel. When your buttons get pushed into anger and your mind floods with fear, telling yourself to be calm or courageous won’t stand up to the voices in your head telling you to defend or shut up."

| Repair File Associations in Windows 10 |
| |
 |
| |
| So, you’re absolutely sure PowerPoint is sitting nicely on your computer… but then you double-click a PowerPoint file and — ta-da! Instead of opening in PowerPoint like a well-trained puppy, it either refuses to open or jumps into some other random program you didn’t invite to the party. No need to scream “What is happening?!” This simply means your
computer has gotten confused about who should open that file. Think of it like your mail carrier delivering your favorite pizza to your neighbor’s house — the pizza exists, but it’s not reaching you. |
