à propos de nous

Depuis ses débuts dans les années 1990, APT Presentations a coaché et formé avec succès des orateurs internationaux et amélioré la qualité des présentations pour des centaines d’événements internationaux.

Il y a plus de 30 ans, nous avons reconnu que même si les outils assistés par ordinateur comme PowerPoint permettent à plus de personnes de créer TECHNIQUEMENT des aides visuelles, l’acte HUMAIN de présenter en souffre énormément. Les présentateurs confondent trop souvent l’outil avec ce que l’outil est censé faire. Aujourd’hui, de nombreuses présentations ne sont plus un ACTE de communication HUMAINE, mais plutôt un diaporama informatisé où les présentateurs s’appuient trop sur la technologie pour faire leur travail. Le résultat est une baisse globale de la qualité de l’art de la communication orale au public. Nous ne connaissons que trop bien le syndrome de Death By PowerPoint. C’est encore plus évident avec l’arrivée d’outils comme Webex, Skype, Zoom, Meet ou Team.
