Lightning Presentation Tips

- Use illustrations and graphic material on each slide instead of textual content alone to increase comprehension and retention.
- Keep the wording to a minimum, as you want the audience focused on what you are saying in the short time allotted, not trying to read words on your slides.
- Try to keep your presentation focused on visuals. Feel free to get creative with laying out your information and data.
- Remember that you are the presenter, not the slides. Use your slides to emphasize a point, keep yourself on track, and illustrate an issue with a graphic or photo.
- Keep it simple, clean, and concise. Use consistent wording. The maximum screen load is 6 to 8 lines and 30-35 words for a single slide.
- Practice your presentation. Know your time limit (presentation length) and set a timer for these practice presentations.
