This document provides presentation design ideas for non-designers to make their presentations more engaging. It recommends having a clear plan and purpose, telling a story with three acts, minimizing text, using powerful images, choosing fonts and slide layouts wisely, rehearsing, and delivering with confidence. Presenters should know their audience, brainstorm their key message, and make slides beautiful yet simple while focusing on one idea per slide. Rehearsing and dressing professionally can also boost delivery, and providing handouts reinforces the content. The overall goal is to make audiences feel something rather than just informing them.

how you made them feel.
