Presenting Tips # 1

BAN BULLET POINTS!!!

Yes, I know it is heretical to write this, but if you use Powerpoint, never use Bullet Poiints.
There is always a better way to put your point across during a presentation. Bullet points are poor prompts and they inevitably distract the audience and cause a loss of focus. If you do not rely on bullets you will promote the pleasure that comes from creativity and presence. There are many positive ways to use PowerPoint but text should be avoided apart from titles, quotes, demonstrations and interactive discussion.
