11. KNOW YOUR SUBJECT
KNOW what you’re saying.
What does it mean to you?
What are you trying to do?
Teach? Sell?
You need to know
because if you don’t, your
audience sure won’t.
Think about it.
13. Throw your brain on paper. It
will be messy; that’s ok, you’ll
work on that later.
Take your time but know that
you will end up cutting out a
lot.

20. Avoid too much text, especially for oral
presentations
Espacially when they contain long phrases
Because they force you to read as I am talking The
result is that you learn and retain less information
because your brain has to work harder
Plus, the more information you put on a slide, the
smaller the font gets and the harder it gets to read
for everybody, especially the people sitting at the
back
And anyways, you read a lot faster than I can talk so
if all of my slides look like this, I’m basically making
myself useless
This is especially true for written
presentations.
Remember,
LESS IS MORE.
