A PowerPoint presentation can help reinforce concepts you convey during training, but the technology can also undermine your efforts—unless you avoid some common mistakes.
Here are four to avoid:
- Don’t use too much text in your slides. If you squeeze too many words onto a slide, the audience may have trouble reading them or may feel overwhelmed by so much information.
- Resist the urge to use every available type of background, typeface, animation, and graphic in any one presentation. Too many “bells and whistles” will confuse and distract viewers.
- Select graphics carefully. Graphics can add value to a presentation—unless they:
1. Serve no obvious purpose,
2. Don’t support the main message on the slide, or
3. Are too complicated to be understood.

- When gleaning information from several different presentations to create a new one, don’t just put the slides together without taking the time to check for consistency in appearance and style.
Preparing consistent, easily understandable, reader-friendly slides that contain a good mix of text and graphics will help ensure that your PowerPoint presentation enhances—rather than detracts from—your training message.
