The next part is preparing your slides now, we've got three PowerPoint here. So PowerPoint generally, its most common way that we use visuals on a presentation. We have learned from the beast when it comes to creating presentations. So I don't want to tell you my way I want to tell you the way that who I copy and just name is David Phillips. Now he is the guy men. Many of you might have heard of him before, you might have heard of the term death by PowerPoint.
So he was the guy that created death by PowerPoint, and he's got an awesome presentation. We've got it in the learning it for you. And these are his six. These are his six tips. Okay, so really easy. I'm going to not i'm not going to sort of steal his thunder.
I'm going to let him talk about it in the video. But he says, make sure that you're using putting only one point and every slide So don't try and clog your slides up with a whole lot of stuff. Use contrast, use size. Now he makes a really good point about heating. So how many of you in a corporate environment have got a template with a heating takes up nearly a third of the slide. He says you size make sure the most important thing that you're doing is the biggest thing on your PowerPoint.
So that's not usually the heating. It's a really cool point. He says avoid sequences so you don't need your entire presentation on your, on your slides. You're taking away from his most important you. So the last thing we want to see is you standing here like this reading off every single word of your slides. He seems to use dark background so it's a lot easier for the human eye to read a darker background with lighter cheeks and it is a white background with dark cheeks.
But how many PowerPoints do we see that a white background so that's another really good great tip. And he also sees no more than six things on slide. And that's a really, really hard thing to get used to because we're so used to cramming everything we possibly can. If you need help with your slides, I definitely recommend to watch these by PowerPoint. He's got a lot of other resources here and it's really, really useful.
