Microsoft PowerPoint – Make the Most Out of Your Slides

To be an effective presenter, your slides need to be crystal clear. Think about it, people can’t read and listen at the same time. Consider these points when preparing your next presentation:

•  If you put a lot of text on your slide, they’ll be reading your slide and
   won’t hear what you are saying. Stick to short bullet points.

•  If you need to provide detailed data such as a spreadsheet, use a
   handout so people can follow along with what you are talking about.

•  All text should be legible.

•  Keep animation to a minimum.

•  All visuals should be high-quality.

•  Avoid distracting backgrounds.
