#VisualSilenceAconcept youshould consider foryourPowerPoint slides
A good storyteller knows the power of the
PAUSE
It says you’re in control.
It shows confidence.
It engages the audience.
For some reason we forget the power of silence in
our slides, although it serves the same purpose.
Visual Silence can help your PowerPoint slides

time to digest information
Visual Silence gives the audience
time to think and reflect
time to listen
“But what if my presentation has way more
content than your fancy pancy Slideshare decks?!
Don’t worry, it is fully understandable that
all decks can’t have three words per slide.
However everyone can have this concept
in mind when preparing their slides.
Can you break it up in multiple slides?
Ask yourself
Can you illustrate your points with a visual instead?
Do you need all those points in your slide?
At the end of the day you want your audience to
leave the presentation with a key message in mind.
At the end of the day you want your audience to
leave the presentation with a key message in mind.
(Make sure that your slides help them remember this message)
Visual Silence can help your PowerPoint slides
Do you need help with bringing silence to your slides?
