In this episode of SPI TV, I'm going to show you how to create an awesome slide deck for your next presentation, one that captivates your audience and supports your talk, not bores people to death and puts people to sleep.
I've performed dozens of presentations myself, and I take great pride in how I approach my slide deck. I'm always getting complimented on my slides, and I want the same to happen to you.
Creating great slides doesn't have to be difficult, and with a few simple rules and some guidelines to follow, you'll stand out as a top presenter the next time you're on stage or presenting in front of a group.
If you're interested in learning how to start an entire keynote or powerpoint presentation from scratch (including how to come up with ideas), watch this recent live stream where I walk you through this process, right from the start:

I WAS JUST GOOGLING THIS 3 DAYS AGO. Thanks Pat!
Pat, your speaking skills are reaching very polished proportions….love the confidence too when delivering your tips….keep up the good work!
Very nice job. I can’t begin to tell you how many terrible presentations I’ve had to suffer through. There is absolutely no reason that someone can’t create a a compelling presentation.
Just take a few minutes and watch a couple of TED X presentations. 20 minutes seems to be the sweet spot.
I have to say that when it comes to lectures and seminars, I actually do appreciate when the presentation covers all the key information and the lecturer makes it available for download or e-mails to all students, so I don’t have to take notes for every single thing they say. I even print the presentation if it’s extra valuable. I want to do this for my own students as well.
Great tips Pat! I’m creating my first really hardcore webinar with slides – this will really help me out!
Gratitude SIR!!!! Thank you.
I don’t get it why so many people are complaining. This tutorial was very informative and got me hanging on the edge of my seat.
Video starts at 4:15 But great video nevertheless 😀
Hey everyone, if you’d like to skip the intro (which I would not recommend) and just get right into the tips, skip to about 2:20 in the timeline.
“They are called bullets because they kill people” LOL aaaaaahhhhh

2 avoid bullet points
3 Topic + at least 1 support image
4 Choose a style that you like

6 Show a “road map” (how far you’ve gone into the presentation)
7 Use graphs and tables
8 Higlight the most important portions of your slides

Thank you
Dude I was so lost before finding this video.
You really helped me out for work tomorrow 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. I get sick of hearing people talk for the sake of talking. Get to the point.
Thanks…I was just about to switch away as the speaker seemed to be making the same mistakes he was criticising!
The presentation was helpful.
More powerpoint presentations ans tricks
Ikr, to be honest most of the presentation were soulless. Its It’s just so boring that I become soulless during presenting just because i must do the slide format that lecture want me to. And it’s also why I really enjoy this one.
avoid bullet point but you help him do it🤔
@Desmond Chew It’s so people don’t have to listen to that boring video lol
Bless you hehe.
