Listen "12. Reading slides"
Episode Synopsis
The moment you read text on a slide out loud to your audience, you are insulting their intelligence.You are suggesting to your presentation audience that they can’t read and so you will do it for them.I haven’t met anyone who likes or appreciates having slides read out to them. I have however, met countless professionals who agree it’s the ultimate presentation mistake yet continue to read slides themselves.Solution – Craft a conversation rather than a recital. Remember that your audience have come to listen to you speak, not to read to them.
