Keep it Simple Use No more than 4 bullets per slide Slides are for trigger words, not your notes Pictures and graphs get your point across

better Don’t read all of the words on your slide There are too many bullets and words on this

page Help me to scale this page down to focus on

only the MOST important points

Your Notes

Keep your notes and resources in the “click to add notes” section at the bottom of this screen

You won’t read these, but your will program your brain while you write them

Keep focused and do not skip ahead This slide is currently boring and too busy with

words. Now, try and edit this slide to minimize the

amount of bullets and words on the screen Remember to keep everything on the page

related to your header at the top
