I was never a big fan of using slides in my presentations. Primarily because slides are often used as a crutch instead of an effective tool.

Well... I changed my mind!

Now, instead of using just a handful of slides during presentations, I'll often use 75-100.

In this episode, I share why I changed my mind about slides as well as 3 insights (plus a bonus) on how to use slides effectively.

Insight #1: Humor

Insight #2: Interaction

Insight #3: Key Phrases

BONUS: A gift to your audience that also enables you to grow your email list

4. BONUS IDEA: Find other speakers who get paid to speak to evaluate your speaking.
