In the blogging world,
we often talk about top 10 lists,
drafting posts around
5 or 10 key points.
In the world of effective presentations,
a top 10 list is a disaster.
No one can keep 10 ideas
in her or his brain
at one time.
Madeline DeVries*,
founder of DeVries Public Relations,
shares
“I’d rather put one word up
than a slide with lots of bullets.
Say, “Here’s the one
or the three most important objectives’
—don’t sit there with a list of ten.
Nobody’s going to solve ten objectives
all at once.
In a presentation format,
you want to hit
the most important things.”
With presentations,
focus on one or two or three points.
