With Game of Thrones Season 6 off to a good start — more conspiracy theories on Jon Snow than the JFK assassination — let’s rewind the tape to last season.

It’s a masterful performance.

No slides.

No teleprompter.

Just Tyrion standing alone on stage, armed with his smarts, guile and command of spoken language.

Taking this Game of Thrones scene, we’ve created a SlideShare that makes a case for ditching the slides when the stakes are high.

Nothing is more persuasive than language without the “decoration.”
