More slides, please!

Please stop making us sit through slides with tiny financial charts we can't read—that most of us probably don't understand anyway.

Stop putting up slides with three columns of twelve bullet points plus five pie charts plus an inspirational quote jammed in for good measure.

Stop using important sounding acronyms. The others didn't want to say anything, but—we don't know what most of them mean.

When you're sitting down to make your deck, cut down the number of topics you're going to cover. Nope, it's still too many, take out more.

Now, this is probably the most important part: make more slides!

I know that probably sounds counterintuitive since you're trying to be concise and considerate of everyone's time—and we appreciate that, we do.

But here's the thing. If you let each slide communicate one or two things clearly instead of six or seven things poorly, it'll make it easier to follow along and keep us engaged.

We might even have some questions and comments at the end.
