Editor's Notes
- The point here is that there are a lot of good ways to create a good presentation.A lot of these rules are for specific types of presentations. For instance the 10/20/30 rule was developed for presentations to venture capialists who have notoriously short attention spans. So they don’t always apply.The 10/20/30 rule wouldn’t apply for instance to slides for a training session or something like that.Find what works for you and stick with it.We’re just going to cover some basic stuff today. PowerPoint help is very extensive. If you want to learn how to use specific features, start there. Just give us a call if you want help….we’ll help if we can….honestly, we’re just winging it a lot of the time.10/20/30 developed for VCsten is the optimal number of slides in a PowerPoint presentation because a normal human being cannot comprehend more than ten concepts in a 20 minutes30 points777 –no more than…7 word title7 bullets7 words each line

- Some things to consider here….Present from your audience’s perspective not your own.I can’t tell you how many presentations I’ve been in that have been so full of acronyms and abbreviations and the first names of people that i am assumed to just know….i glaze over and start thinking about what I have to get done that day….and some of those presentations have been here! Yikes!Doesn’t matter if this is the coolest stuff in the world to you, your audience probably has a different perspective.Figure out what it is and use it to communicate more effectively.

- MessageConvincing problem-solution-format take time to set up each slide don’t just read slides…have more to say it is ok to look at your slides and point out key things….those little lazer pointers work great pause for effectMemorable make it relevant …most important make it new and different know your audience…Scalable can you tell different versions of the story in 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes…then you are probably on the right track. If you can’t then you are probably jumping around too much.The formatEasy to read—really means ‘easy to look at’ don’t put dark fonts on dark back grounds and visa versa don’t create a rainbow of colors or neon flashy things Uncluttered don’t put too much stuff on one page
