Don’t illustrate every point with a slide, only important ones
Even in a 45 minutes presentation, you should only be making two or three excellent points that you except the audience to remember
Everything else can be anecdotes or examples backing up those points
Don’t put too few words on a slide
Single words per bullet point are normally unhelpful.
Slides are an aid memoir for you as a speaker but they should also be useful as a notes for audience
You are the focus, not your slides
You are on a stage, you are a performer. The slides have just secondary importance.
What makes a performance interesting? Humor, movement, audience interaction
Come out from behind the lectern and use body language
Ask questions from audience and challenge their answers
Use graphics and images to demonstrate a point
