bullet For a more effective presentation, introduce only one or two ideas at a time.
bullet Use large readable fonts with only a few ideas presented on each slide.
bullet Make each slide interesting but not cluttered.
bullet Giving a presentation should involve more than simply reading each slide.
bullet Keep the presentation interactive by asking for responses from the audience to pertinent questions.
bullet Consider giving the audience something to take notes on and something to take away from the presentation.
