Don’t MimicKeep up with the times. But imitate every fad, and your audience will realize that there’s no insight from your end. No real contribution.

Don’t WaverTake a side and stand by it. Use reassuring

adjectives. Sound neutral and you could come off as unconfident. Or worse, boring!

Keep it real.

Don’t GripeEven if you have to make an alarming point, don’t complain. Reason. Avoid using negative adjectives. “You’re not good enough” is better than “You suck!”

Don’t QuoteIn pithy words or digits. The former is a sad

excuse for filling empty spaces. The latter just shows you’re greedy. Use the slides to show

what you have to offer. Quote and sell, later.
