Your slide

Let's Practice

Evaluate Your Own Slide

Paste the content of one of your own slides and see how it holds up — then decide what, if anything, to change.

A note on the feedback you'll receive: the analysis below reflects my preferences and principles — shaped by years of experience working with presenters and learners. It is not a universal command. You know your context, your audience, and your constraints. Take what's useful. Leave what isn't.

Your Turn

Paste a slide from your own work

Choose a slide you've actually used — ideally one that felt a little crowded, or one where you found yourself reading from the screen. The messier the better.

You don't need to clean it up first. Paste it as it is. The analysis is more useful when it's working with the real thing.

Your reflection

Now that you've seen your own slide through this lens — what lands?

That was harder to read than I thought — for my audience too

The transformation gave me something concrete to work with

My context is different — some of this doesn't apply

I'm going to rework this slide before I use it next

Anything else? optional

Reflection recorded.

You've just done something most presenters never do — looked at your own slide critically before the audience did. That habit is the whole game.
