6. Please donât write out everything youâre going to
say on a slide. The odds are the people youâre
giving the presentation to are going to be reading
and not listening to a thing youâre saying. Although
this eliminates the need to memorize your talk, it
makes the slides crowded, wordy and boring. â¨
Plus, your audience reads slides faster than you
can talk, so youâll lose your audienceâs attention
before you even reach the bottom of your firstâŚ
9. world hunger
⢠In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what
the World Bank has called "absolute poverty"
⢠Every year 15 million children die of hunger
⢠For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years
⢠Throughout the 1990's more than 100 million children will die from illness and starvation. Those
100 million deaths could be prevented for the price of ten Stealth bombers, or what the world
spends on its military in two days!
⢠The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is
under-fed one-third is starving- Since you've entered this site at least 200 people have died of
starvation. Over 4 million will die this year.

18. some animation
is fineâŚ
But too much is distracting
and can get REALLY
annoying (and give the
people in the room a seizure)
38. build a story
around your
audience
No context or meaning?Youâre
giving a boring presentation.
Make your audience the main
characters (and heroes) of your
story.
39. cut your intro
and âabout usâ
section
People only care who you are
AFTER they hear what you have
to say.Donât waste precious time
on intros.
40. keep the
presentation
short and sweet
When was the last time you heard
someone complain a
presentation was too short? â¨
Cut,cut,cut.
41. customize your
presentation for
every audience
Every audience is different,your
presentation should be too.One-
size-fits-all presentations are like
one-size-fits-all clothes; they
never fit right and usually make
you look bad.
44. www.solstice-mobile.com
donât read from
your slides
Newsflash: your audience can read.
If there are words in front of people,
theyâre going to read that and stop
listening to what youâre saying.
