PowerPoint Tips for Better Presentations
The staple for business communication – whether it’s at a working luncheon of five or a huge conference with 5,000 – is PowerPoint.
Chances are good that you will have an opportunity to speak to an audience in the next few months. And even if you never make a live presentation, SlideShare is a great place to upload slide decks to tell the world about yourself.
Jonathan Hall, Director of Operations at DV Communications in Knoxville, Tennessee, handles corporate events for big businesses. He sees multiple PowerPoint slide shows each year ranging from professional keynote speakers to beginning presenters. I caught up with Jonathan at an international conference in Orlando, Florida.

Jonathan’s PowerPoint Tips
- Less is More
- The Bigger the Font the Better
- Hit the High Points
- Allow Time to Troubleshoot
In the spirit of Jonathan’s advice, those are the bullet points. If you want to know the meat of the message, you must go back and listen to the speaker. (Isn’t that the whole point of you being on stage?)
