The "Hard Slides"

We all know that some topics lend themselves to showing photos on slides instead of text.

For example, when you are telling a story and making a point about the statue of Liberty, you can put up a photo of Lady Liberty and have instant audience recognition. This is dead easy for experienced presenters like myself and fellow members of the Powerful Presentations Alliance. (Although most presenters still resort to a 200 word description of Lady Liberty in 10 point font and then read the description to the audience - shudder!!)

Some slides are more challenging. For example, when you convey statistics to your audience you may tend to display all the statistics that you have. If you try to convey too much detail, your result will be that you convey no detail to your audience. These are the "Hard Slides"

Craig Strachan recently posted a fabulous blog entry to help you when creating the "Hard Slides". Check it out. I could not have written a better entry myself :)
