I do a keynote called Perfecting Presentaitons with the 4 P’s which is on creating and delivering business presentations.. During the 2nd P of the keynote, I share an exercise with th group on the right and wrong way to create PowerPoint slides. They learn a lot by trying to find everything wrong with my slides before we discuss the right way to prepare a show.
Watch the very amusing video titled “Life After Deatch by PowerP:oint” (under 10 minutes) below by Don McMillan and ask yourself “Do my slides look like that? Do I talk that fast?” In the video, he shares many of the same tips I do but in a much funnier way. The basic information I share in my keynote and that you will also glean from the video on slide shows are these key points:
- Do not type every word of your speech, summarize in slides
- Do not use too many font types or sizes – find 1 style that your audience can read easily
- Do define your acronyms or technical terms
- Do not overuse animations and images
- Do not put too many bullets on the same slide (for more see Rule of 6)
- Do use graphs and charts but only if they explain data better than a table.
