Visuals should highlight your main points, not give every detail.
Guidelines to create visuals • Make only one point with each visual • Break down complicated point down into several visuals • Give each visual a title that makes a point • Limit the information amount on visual. Use 35 words or less in seven lines or less; use simple graphs, not complex ones. • Do not show your visual until you are ready to talk about it • Use animation schemes (fade, zoom, wipes) in a way that supports the main point.

How should I organize a presentation? • Chronological • Start with the past, move to the present, and end by looking ahead. • Problem-Causes-Solution • Explain the symptoms of the problem, identify its causes, and suggest a solution.
How should I organize a presentation? • Excluding Alternatives • Explain the symptoms of the problem. • Explain the obvious solutions first and show why they won’t solve the problem. • End by discussing a solution that will work.
How should I organize a presentation? • Pro-Con • Give all the reasons in favor of something, then those against it. • 1-2-3 • Discuss three aspects of a topic.
How to deliver an effective presentation? • Show the sense that you are talking directly to them • Show the sense that you care that they understand and are interested • Convey sense by making eye contact and conversational style • Transform fear into energy by being well prepared
