ABSTRACT

How often have we all sat in on presentations where the speaker points to a projected slide and says something like “as you can see …,” but you could hardly “see” anything. This is typically because of the slide being crowded with text, data, and charts. When you show too much, the audience usually sees nothing. This is true for all audiences, even more so when the audience is made up of senior management who is pressed for time and has limited patience for extraneous detail.
