Recommendation Recap
Just say “No!” to PowerPoint slides filled with text
Allow your audience to “see” your slides and “listen” to your presentation
Use your presentation to tell a story
The 3 x 3 x 3 structure enhances your audience’s receptivity to your message
During the creative process, remember the audience – entertain them!
