57. In order to tell the story you need to tell in an effective
way, you may need a lot of words.
If your story is to be understood away from your

People read much faster than you speak, so once they
figure out that all your content is on the slides, they’ll
start reading ahead of you, ignoring what you’re actually
saying.
Seriously, it happens. You’re doing it right now. Raise
your hand when you read this line. Seriously. Raise
your hand right now.
