Sort it Out

More good advice from PresentationZen...I hadn't thought of this before, but it makes a lot of sense to pay attention to the Slide Sorter function in PowerPoint. Take a look at the entire presentation, laid out. This way, you can better determine the flow of your talk. People can only absorb so much information, so be honest about what needs to stay in and what is merely extraneous. Ever give a presentation and wonder, "Why did I put that graph or slide in there?" You want to avoid such questions while you're up on the podium. Trust me.
