Slides 2 different presentations | #shorts
00:00:00.000 | - When people are giving presentations,
00:00:02.500 | you want the slides to live on their own
00:00:04.100 | because you mentioned they might get shared around,
00:00:05.740 | but you also don't want them to be distracting
00:00:07.500 | when you're talking.
00:00:08.720 | Do you tell people to create two different presentations?
00:00:11.860 | - Yes, 100%.
00:00:14.060 | Yeah, almost always, because at the end of the day,
00:00:16.300 | your slides, I mean, think about it.
00:00:18.900 | You're giving a presentation with slides.
00:00:20.220 | What do you actually want them to do, the person?
00:00:22.220 | Do you want them to read the slide,
00:00:23.820 | the words on there, and read the information?
00:00:26.300 | Then what are you doing there?
00:00:28.180 | Like, they're reading it.
00:00:30.100 | And if you don't want them to read it, then why have it?
00:00:33.340 | Like, unless it's just a picture,
00:00:35.060 | you're describing it, like, right, exactly.
00:00:37.020 | So there are your two things.
00:00:38.500 | You want them to read it or you don't.
00:00:40.060 | If you don't want them to read it,
00:00:41.200 | then it better be something
00:00:42.040 | that accentuates what you're saying.
00:00:44.740 | Bullet points, pictures, simple messages, like that simple.
00:00:49.580 | If you put up something enough that they have to read,
00:00:52.300 | there's no point in having it there
00:00:53.820 | because if you're talking, they're not gonna,
00:00:55.500 | what are they, trying to split time on reading it?
00:00:57.620 | Doing, jumping ahead, it's just, it's a disaster.
00:01:00.620 | People wanna put slides
00:01:01.540 | so it looks like they've done a lot of work.
00:01:03.500 | It's like, okay, by the way,
00:01:05.340 | I'm not even against that sometimes.
00:01:06.740 | Sometimes there's graphs and charts that look good.
00:01:11.140 | So you put it on a slide
00:01:12.500 | and when you're presenting in person,
00:01:15.180 | but you're not speaking to the numbers on there.
00:01:16.980 | You're saying, we did extensive research
00:01:19.580 | and I will send you this in detail
00:01:21.820 | so you can read what this slide says,
00:01:24.020 | but here's the summary, right?
00:01:26.820 | As opposed to like, here's the market research response.
00:01:30.700 | As you could see here, it's like,
00:01:32.740 | your slides should accentuate what you're saying,
00:01:37.420 | not trying to do the work for you.
