Create Your Communications Experience: Use Black Slides
The problem with PPs are that they become the presentation itself, and that lends to delivering information, and data dumps. In most business settings it’s almost like reading a manuscript as someone puts up PP after PP and uses them as his/her notes. Too many bullets and too much text. (Rule of Thumb with PPs – less is more!)
Use black slides and transform your presentations. A black slide is literally a slide with no master and a black background. (It is not the “B†key which will blank out a slide, but you always have to unblank, and go back and show the old slide before you can continue on.)
