👉 Simple slides let people focus on listening to you rather than decoding bullet points.

A checklist for making a slide:
◦ Is this slide essential to my message? If not, cut the whole slide.
◦ Could a visual be used instead of text?
◦ If not, could I cut half the text on this slide?
◦ Could I enlarge the text so it's easier to read?
◦ Could I use simpler, shorter words?
