5. Simple 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 may 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!
