What are some things you should keep in mind when putting together a slideshow? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An effective presentation is one that&#8217;s put together with the audience in mind. If you are creating slides, simplify things as much as possible: make sure the text is easy to read and digest, minimize distractions (e.g. animated slide transitions), and avoid superfluous language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few useful tips for a good presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-4044813c-99be-4298-8f14-b62f322280a9\">How to Put Together Your Slide Presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-70a4fb00-0b02-4309-9984-8520f91cc735\">When you are putting together a presentation, it\u2019s often easier to start with your main message and benefits before working on your opener. Once you\u2019ve made your notes, you can create a slide presentation (also known as a slide deck) on a program like PowerPoint or Google Slides, keeping the following tips in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-864d433f-1c63-4d0f-a889-18b9243aae1b\"><li>Make it easy for your audience to digest the information. Use short bullet points instead of sentences, with <strong>a maximum of six words per bullet and six bullets per slide<\/strong>. Don\u2019t include bullets that you won\u2019t discuss.<\/li><li>If you\u2019re adding bullet points to a slide with a graph or chart, make sure the bullets enhance\u2014rather than merely repeat\u2014the visual information.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t use sounds or animation that may be distracting for your audience.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Make Your Slides Pass the \u201cGlance Test\u201d<\/strong><br><br>Sullivan asserts that you shouldn\u2019t make your audience work hard to understand your slides. One expert says you can do this by simplifying slides enough so that your audience won\u2019t have to read copious amounts of text <em>and<\/em> focus on what you\u2019re saying at the same time. She recommends using the <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2012\/10\/do-your-slides-pass-the-glance-test\">\u201cglance test\u201d: Treat your slides like a billboard that your audience will only look at briefly<\/a> before turning their attention back to you. Create slides that will pass the glance test with the following tips:<br><br>&#8211; <strong>Make your slides look consistent.<\/strong> Stick to one visual style\u2014this means using a maximum of two fonts and a palette of three complementary colors plus a couple of neutral shades.<br><br>&#8211; <strong>Give your slides some breathing room.<\/strong> Instead of cramming them with elements, use white space around things you want to emphasize.<br><br>&#8211; <strong>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/visual-hierarchy-in-web-design\/\">visual hierarchy<\/a>.<\/strong> This is a visual cue to show what you want to emphasize. For example, use a bigger font for important numbers.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-7d46a50b-2677-4be9-93a1-1bc1e0d27b55\">Present From Your Slide Deck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e21fcd11-7bcc-40f0-9789-03c3de677c58\">Your job doesn\u2019t end with putting together a solid slide deck\u2014you still have to talk about your message. Your slides merely serve as a tool to help the audience more easily understand what you have to say. To improve your delivery when presenting with a slideshow, Sullivan gives the following tips for a good presentation: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-029f4afd-f4e3-41d4-af40-aa4816294121\"><strong>1) Make the audience feel like they have your full attention. <\/strong>Stand to the left of the screen from the audience\u2019s point of view, making sure that your body is oriented toward them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-7ce558a1-aeac-47b8-bb90-8c5641a12d98\"><strong>2) Stand in one place.<\/strong> While moving around the room has its advantages, it distracts your audience and divides their attention between you and the screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-619d8300-8ba3-458e-802e-799e70b1f1e8\"><strong>3) Look at your slide, turn to your audience to repeat what it says, then add more details.<\/strong> While other communication experts say that the audience doesn\u2019t like it when a speaker reads off their slides, Sullivan argues that this is only true when the speaker doesn\u2019t add more information. He says reading what\u2019s on your slides helps your audience absorb your message better because both their sight and hearing are focused on the same information. In other words, adding more information is important <em>after<\/em> reading the exact text on your slides to help your audience process it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Go Beyond Sight<\/strong><br><br>Sullivan says that reading your slides engages the audience\u2019s sight and hearing, so they\u2019re better able to absorb the information. You can make your presentation even more memorable and engaging by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/talk-like-ted\/1-page-summary#principle-6-present-content-that-triggers-multiple-senses\">giving your audience a multisensory experience<\/a>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/talk-like-ted\"><em>Talk Like TED<\/em><\/a>, Carmine Gallo gives additional tips for appealing to other senses:<br><br><strong>Hearing:<\/strong> Include other people\u2019s voices in your presentation. Gallo explains that the audience tends to lose interest when they hear only one voice throughout a talk, so adding other people\u2019s voices\u2014for example, through video testimonials when you present benefits\u2014can keep them engaged.<br><br><strong>Touch: <\/strong>If you\u2019re pitching a product, pass a prototype around. Otherwise, ask people to imagine how it would feel to touch or be touched by something. For example, if you\u2019re giving a presentation about water sports, you can ask your audience to close their eyes and imagine cool water spraying across their face in the hot sun.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What makes an effective presentation?
