Ep. 319 “EXCUSE MY SLIDE, BUT…”

Oct 2, 2025

Perhaps you’ve heard a speaker say something like, “Excuse my slide!” Today Darren and Mark talk frankly about why speakers make excuses for poor slides and offer firm suggestions for preparing and presenting effective, professional slides.

 

SNIPPETS:

• One slide, one point

 

• If you have  a lot of detail, put it in a handout

 

• You must be able to defend your slides

 

• Think of what the audience sees

 

• What does the audience need to know?

 

• Simplify your slides

 

• Use fewer words on the slide, then explain as you present

 

• Magnify the point you wish to make
