You Are Putting Too Many Words on Your Slides

When giving a presentation the goal is for YOU to tell a story, not the slides. The slides are to augment the story. The slides should not do double duty as a document that can tell the story alone, you are an integral part of the presentation.

If your audience spends the presentation reading the slides, they barely pay attention to you. Limit the text on the slides.

If you want a stand-alone document, create a separate narrative document.
