Biography
David Henson Presentation designer, entrepreneur, speaker, author, Masterclass instructor
Trained in photography, photographic processing, and audio-visual production, David Henson set up The Regent Slide Company in 1986 and spent 13 years producing and imaging thousands of 35mm slides for many varied businesses. But it wasn't until he joined Toastmasters in 2012, and the Professional Speaking Association of UK & Ireland in 2016, that he realized that even good speakers produce bad slides. And now he's on a crusade to eradicate excruciatingly boring slide presentations and to teach people how to produce slides that wow their audiences and make their talks memorable and effective.
He is the author of Your Slides Suck! He also speaks on delivering effective slide presentations: he recently gave such a talk at the Professional Speaking Association in London. David additionally delivers Masterclasses on the topic.
