Dear Rookie,
Ever seen a slide so packed with text that it looks like a Terms & Conditions page? Yeah, don’t do that.
If you must use slides, keep them snappy—one killer image, one punchy stat, or a headline that makes people sit up. Otherwise, here’s what happens: You drop a wall of text, half the room zones out, the other half starts reading ahead, and now you’re just background noise in your own meeting 😉
Make your slides work for you, not against you. Keep it crisp. Keep it clean. Keep them looking at you, not squinting at your slides.
Or, it’s said in Django Unchained, “You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.”
