Episode notes
Use The 10-20 Rule
- Follow the 10-20 rule: ~10 slides, 20 minutes, and no font smaller than 30 points.
- Prepare to be concise so you can always extend but not be forced to shorten dramatically.
Choose Dark Backgrounds For Slides
- Use a black or very dark slide background with white text for readability and gravitas.
- A dark background helps slides blend with the room and avoids visible slide borders.
Prefer Small Rooms Or Classroom Seating
- Prefer smaller rooms or request classroom seating to create energy and intimacy.
- Tables and tighter seating make presentations feel exclusive and engaged.
