Bullet Points Kill (Effective Communication)

When it comes to presentations, the problem is that bullet points are the right answer to the wrong question. If the question is, "How do I condense 120 pages of text down to 12 pages of text?" then bullet points are the right answer. But in a visual presentation environment, that's the wrong question.

The right question is, "How can I distill my complex information into a visual form that will help me communicate more effectively?" You can begin asking the right question with a simple shift of orientation in your thinking.
Bullet points on a screen make information harder to understand, not easier.
The next time you find yourself facing a title and bullet points, apply this "1 + 5 = 1" exercise. Take a sheet of paper in landscape format, and draw a line down the center. On the left side, write your 1 heading and 5 bullet points.

Pause for a second, and ask yourself if you can somehow cut through all of this information, and get right to the heart of it. On the right side of the page, write down the thought that came to you.

After all, the goal of a good presentation is inspiration, not information. Books, white papers and spreadsheets are great at documenting large quantities of information. Presentations are the appropriate place for inspiration. They are an opportunity for you to awaken passion in your audience about your topic and engage you and each other in further conversation.
