Minimize Fluff

• A weak slide takes away from the credibility of your presentation.
• E.g. Joe started the company in his garage with Bob and Sally for $50.
Organization‐ three out of three

31
Remember…
• Building in interaction does not always work.
• Don’t go with a high‐stake leading question. e.g., how many of you have been to site xyz.com? (What if the answer is zero?)
Interaction‐ two out of two
![Page 32: How to Make a Successful Presentation - UW Faculty Web Server](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071600/613d2d04736caf36b75a3738/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Surprise

35
Self‐Awareness
• Use body language and subtle clues to keep track of audience response.
