How To Do PowerPoint by Carrie Shuchart & Chris Ryan for their book:

Agenda
What is PowerPoint?
Principles of Good PowerPoint
Principles in Action

What is PowerPoint?
Most common presentation software
Projected on screen
Printed for handouts
Based on slideshow analogy

Agenda
What is PowerPoint?

1) “ Ghost ” Your Whole Deck First
Draw 9 squares on a blank sheet of paper.
Focuses you on the overall storyline
Put 1 big message per slide and “ghosts” (placeholders) for details

2) Keep It Simple
Whole Deck
Each Slide
Use clear signposts
Fewer words = better
Large enough for the back row
Modest animations & transitions
Trackers in corners
Agenda slides

3) Work In Threes
Government...
of the people
by the people
for the people
Memorable balance
Twos and fours work as well
Don’t be too predictable

Agenda
What is PowerPoint?
This very presentation!

Principles in Action – Ghosting Actual Ghost of this Deck
Done with pencil and paper
Took only a half-hour subway ride
Prevented “story creep”

Principles in Action – Simple
Clear signposts throughout
Few words

Principles in Action – Threes
Three items on agenda
Three principles of good PowerPoint
Three bullets in most places
Sometimes two
Not averse to four

Can You Ever Deviate From Plan?
Of course you can
Try to anticipate objections beforehand
Plan your responses and work them into the deck
Or have “hip-pocket” extra slides ready
During the presentation, deal with questions as they arise
Audiences hate waiting till the end

Final Thoughts
Recap the big takeaways
Pre-planned
Also any that came out of the discussion
Lay out next steps

And Don’t Do This…
Swooshing animations!!!
The entire text word-for-word of what you’re going to say, so you stare at the screen and read it aloud to your audience as if they were five years old. Clip art unless you are a legitimate graphic artist (and you’re probably not). Crazy transitions!!!

… Do This Instead
Nothing
