Things your 

audience hates about
your presentation
I0DESIGNED BY
01Starting with
a long intro
that's all
about you.
DESIGNED BY
01
The first few
minutes of a
presentation
are the most
important.
Start your
presentation with a
quick introduction
to who you are and
then reel them in
with a compelling
opener.
DESIGNED BY
02Too much
focus on
facts and not
emotions.
DESIGNED BY
02
You won't
score points
with a data
dump.
You might impress
your audience with
your sales growth 
but they will walk
away remembering
how they felt.
People remember
stories, not facts.
DESIGNED BY
03Disorganized
content
DESIGNED BY
03
Poor presentation
flow will lose your
audience’s
attention.
When developing
your presentation,
outline your content
first. This will act as
a roadmap that your
audience can follow.
DESIGNED BY
04Transition &
animation
overload
DESIGNED BY
04
Transitions &
animations can
create emphasis
but too much can
be annoying.
Keep it simple.
If you’re going to use
them, choose one or
two that are no-frills
and stick with them the
whole way through.
DESIGNED BY
05Being
read to
DESIGNED BY
05
Avoid putting
everything on
the slide and
reading it out
like a script.
Stick with a 

few key ideas.
The visual
presentation
should only
complement your
verbal one.
DESIGNED BY
06Endless
charts
DESIGNED BY
06
You can make
more of an impact
by removing the
chart altogether
and presenting the
key takeaways.
DESIGNED BY
Nothing tunes 

people out faster than
a deck filled with
uninspiring charts.
07Lack of
humor
DESIGNED BY
07
No matter what
your topic is, don't
take yourself too
seriously.
Humor is a
powerful tool.
Know your
audience, draw
from relevant
anecdotes, and
practice your
delivery.
DESIGNED BY
08Lack of
passion and
enthusiasm
DESIGNED BY
08
If you're not
excited about
your topic,
why should
they be?
If your topic doesn't
excite you, find
something about 

it that does. 

Don’t fake it - your
audience will see
right through it!
DESIGNED BY
09Too much
information
0

DESIGNED BY
09
People can
only retain
three points
really well
before their
retention drops.
Start by removing
the clutter. Each
slide should have a
clear focal point
and any text or
graphic should
make a strong
impact.

10No
engagement
or interaction
DESIGNED BY
10
You can engage 

your audience with 

simple gestures 

like eye contact,
movement around the
stage, or discussion.
Communication 

is a two-way
street
