1. The most common mistake people make is that they DON'T use transitions at all. Transitions help your information flow from one idea to the next. 2. The second most common mistake is using transitions that are too short. Not enough time is spent bridging to the next idea. This is extremely important when changing to a new section of ideas within your presentation. 3. The third most common mistake is that people use the same transition throughout the presentation. This becomes very boring after a short while. Try to be creative with your transitions. (Lenny Laskowski ) Three Common Mistakes When Using Transitions
