Too often, we come across a speaker who puts way too much text on it slide.

Text is good for reading. Got it? READING. Not listening.

Which means that if you put text on your slides, the audience will read it INSTEAD of listening to you.

A bit of text can be fine. However, too much will distract the audience.

Jan Schultink the author of stickyslides.blogspot.com made this « presentation lessons for entrepreneurs presentation ». I hope it will inspire you too reduce the quantity of text in your presentation.

Share with me: What are you doing to enhance the effectiveness of your slides?
