Cliff Atkinson

Cliff Atkinson "wrote the book" on using PowerPoint effectively with Beyond Bullet Points. The book pioneered the market for smart presentation books. Cliff's impact on the field of presentations has been significant. He designed the presentations that helped persuade a jury to award a $253 million verdict to the plaintiff in the nation’s first Vioxx trial in 2005—presentations that Fortune magazine called "frighteningly powerful." He has taught his approach at many of the country's top law firms, government agencies, business schools, and corporations, including Sony, Toyota, Nestlé, Nokia, Nationwide, Deloitte, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Intel, Microsoft, and the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal.
