Can Bold your important words/lines but should be relevant. Should contain introduction and summary(But better Not to give a heading like introduction) Use subheadings for different parts of your topic No paragraphs. Use relevant images/flow charts/bar charts etc to make audience understand your topic.

4. 1. Keep the points simple Write a script for details but in power point only key points should be included.(make sure your script follows good storytelling conventions) The slides on the screen are only part of the presentation – and not the main part.

You are the focus when you’re presenting, no matter how interesting your slides are.
