1) “Ghost” Your Whole Deck First

2) Keep It Simple
Whole Deck
Each Slide
• Use clear signposts
• Fewer words = better
• Large enough for the back row
• Modest animations & transitions
– Trackers in corners
– Agenda slides

3) Work In Threes
Government...
• of the people
• by the people
• for the people
• Memorable balance
• Twos and fours work as well
– Don’t be too predictable

Principles in Action – Ghosting
Actual Ghost of this Deck
• Done with pencil and paper
• Took only a half-hour subway ride
• Prevented “story creep”
![Page 11: How to-do-power point-csc](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5445ecfaafaf9fdf2a8b46ef/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Principles in Action – Simple
• Clear signposts throughout
• Few words
![Page 12: How to-do-power point-csc](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5445ecfaafaf9fdf2a8b46ef/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Principles in Action – Threes
• Three items on agenda
• Three principles of good PowerPoint
• Three bullets in most places
– Sometimes two
– Not averse to four

Can You Ever Deviate From Plan?
• Of course you can
• Try to anticipate objections beforehand
– Plan your responses and work them into the deck
– Or have “hip-pocket” extra slides ready
• During the presentation, deal with questions as they arise
– Audiences hate waiting till the end

Final Thoughts
• Recap the big takeaways
– Pre-planned
– Also any that came out of the discussion
• Lay out next steps

And Don’t Do This…
Swooshing animations!!!
The entire text word-for-word of what you’re going to say, so you stare at the screen and read it aloud to your audience as if they were five years old.
Clip art unlessyou are a legitimategraphic artist (and you’re probably not).
Crazy transitions!!!

…Do This Instead
Nothing
