5. Sample Slides  Don’t overload your slides with text and pictures. Putting too much information on one slide is distracting and forces the audience to read your slide instead of listening to you speak. You want to use your slides as areas to highlight information. You should have note cards with you when you present, so you do not need to write out everything you want to say on your slide. Less is more!
