One Point Per Slide - The Powerpoint Way

Take each main point of your presentation and express it as a short and succinct statement. Put each statement on one slide. In the beginning try to avoid Bullets because:

  • Bullets are the speaker’s notes in disguise. Take them off the screen and put them in your hand or on the table/lectern in front of you.
  • Having bullets on your slide and talking at the same time harms the ability of your audience to take in your message.
Trust yourself to tell your story without have each point recreated with a word. Remember ...they are there to hear you, not see a Powerpoint presentation. Your presentation should ASSIST not DOMINATE.
