Slides are NOT Word documents

I was re-reading presentation tips from Chris Brogan From Chris' list here are three I want to focus on in my next presentations.

Respect your audience: they know more than we give them credit for....how can I structure a presentation so they build on what they know and add their own value?
Build in time for tips and take aways discussions at tables or with the person next to you.

Add value: give them take aways and give them doable actions
Structure my three top tips as take aways. Be clear about 1-3 actions for each of my tips.
Make sure my slides are visually appealing and add value to what I am saying ( no word documents)

Be an entertainer: be polished, eloquent and precise
For me this means making the time to practice, even though I have done the presentations multiple times.
