This includes limiting text, using whitespace and visuals appropriately, knowing your audience and purpose, and practicing being passionate, natural, and connecting with the audience through both logical and emotional content. The overall message is that a good presentation is about the presenter, not the slides, and simplicity, clarity and connecting with the audience are keys to success.
