PowerPoint- Unleashing the Power, Avoiding the Pitfalls

In the workplace today, PowerPoint is a vital part of any good presentation. Through PowerPoint, information can more easily be displayed for the audience. Below are a few guidelines for business PowerPoint presentations. A full list can be found at Presentation Training.

• Use Key Phrases about Your Topic- Don't make slides too crowded.
  
• Slide Layout Should be Simple- The audience should be able to easily read and follow each slide.
  
• Avoid All Punctuation Errors and Capital Letters- Errors reduce credibility and capital letters make it seem like your shouting at the audience.
  
• Avoid Fancy Fonts- Stick to a basic and easy to read font. Simple is best.
  
• Use Photos, Charts, and Graphs- Including visuals on your slides can clarify points and increase audience interest.
