1. Headers
Ditch the headlines, or headers, on each slide. This format reduces the space you have to work with, thus making your slides cramped.
2. Visuals
Make your visuals bigger — much bigger. (And make sure to use only hi-res pics.)
3. Transition Slides
Use transition, or chapter, slides. This has the added benefit of giving your audience more time to process what you’re saying.
4. One Point Per Slide
Perhaps most important — and I can’t say this enough — limit each slide to one point. Not one point with multiple subpoints. One single solitary takeaway per slide.
5. Bullet Points
If you feel compelled to use bullet points, find a more visually interesting way to display them than a boring list.
I realize this is a big departure from what you’re used to. It also entails a lot of work. But I fear that your current slides don’t do justice to your content.
