Despite its flaws and frequent abuses, PowerPoint can add significant value to a talk when it is not misused.

One of my dirty little secrets is that without it, I am likely to lose my place while speaking.

But there’s another reason to include it. PowerPoint can be a great supplement to your talk. I use it to illustrate the stories I tell in the same way photos enhance the articles and blogs I publish.

I’m a minimalist on text. If I use bullet points, there are usually only one-to-five words per bullet and the font is large enough to read from the back of the room. When I click to a new slide, I pause and let people view it for a moment.
