0:30presentations tips tricks and how to's
0:32to give better presentations so make
0:34sure you like and subscribe and hit that
0:35Bell icon as well when we're talking
0:38about good presentation slides what I'm
0:40referring to our slides that are first
0:42of all they're clear that means that
0:44people know exactly what you're talking
0:45about when they look at your slide that
0:47also means that the text on your slide
0:49shouldn't be so small that people the
0:51back of the room cannot read them you
0:53want to make sure that everything is
0:54large enough you want a plan for people
0:56not being able to see your slides well
0:58so make sure everything is large and
1:01clear images that you use also are not
1:03fuzzy make sure you get the highest
1:04resolution images you can the second tip
1:07he is related to the text that you're
1:09actually going to have on the slide now
1:11most people will tell you put a minimum
1:14amount of text on the slide because you
1:15want to make sure that they're not
1:16reading everything and that you just
1:18want people to look at the image and
1:20just a little bit of text and figure
1:21things out now this is okay and it's a
1:23good strategy however one thing you have
1:26to keep in mind is your audience if your
1:28audience happens to be people that may
1:31have a little bit of difficulty
1:32understanding everything you're saying
1:34simply by just listening to you so maybe
1:36they speak a different language than you
1:38maybe for example they're not native
1:40English speakers or maybe they are
1:42people that they are older or in some
1:45way they need a little bit of help with
1:47points on the slide to keep track of
1:50what's going on so in that case I highly
1:52recommend putting some text on the
1:54slides and that leads to point number
1:56three that I'm going to make here and
1:57that is don't write sentences down when
2:01I say don't write sentences and putting
2:02slides in text onto the slides and
2:04you're like what do you mean should I
2:06put text but don't put sentences what do
2:07I do what you want to do in this case is
2:09you want to put phrases or
2:11keywords onto the slide that at least
2:14tell people what you're talking about
2:16if they need a little bit more detail
2:18that's fine but judge you know use your
2:20own best judgment think about the
2:22audience they need to see everything so
2:24on those slides if you're gonna have
2:26good slides you're gonna make sure that
2:27the text you have comes out one at a
2:30time as you're speaking about that
2:32particular point the reason why this is
2:34important is because if you put
2:36everything on there the audits will read
2:38a lot faster than you can talk now what
2:40makes a bad presentation slide these are
2:42slides that have a ton of really small
2:44text and it looks like you took a Word
2:47document and copied and pasted it on to
2:50your slides come on I know you've all
2:52done it before
2:53everyone does it I know let's stop doing
2:55that all right stop copying and pasting
2:57your Word documents into your PowerPoint
2:59slides that is terrible that's lazy in
3:02fact so it doesn't give a good
3:04impression that's also another reason
3:06why these are so bad you're not giving a
3:08report you're giving a presentation when
3:10you do that as well right people are
3:11gonna read everything and you know the
3:14biggest mistake that a lot of presenters
3:15make is that they'll also read together
3:17they'll look over they'll read
3:19everything and the audience is already
3:20finished reading so don't do that that
3:23makes a bad presentation slide so what
3:26you want to do as I said before is make
3:28sure that your presentation slides are
3:30clear make sure the text is nice and
3:32large and you're not putting your whole
3:34report or whatever onto there just make
3:36sure you're putting some phrases or
3:37keywords that will guide people along in
3:40your presentation I hope you've gotten
3:42some good tips here about what makes a
3:44good presentation slide versus a bad
3:46presentation slide so take a little bit
3:48time to figure those things out and your
3:50presentation will stand out not because
3:51it looks bad not because the slides look
3:54bad but because you actually did a great
3:55job with it anyway let me know if you've
3:57any questions or comments about that
3:58thank you for watching and we'll see in
3:59the next video
