What is your process for creating a presentation?

I think about the story that the presentation is telling. Will the reader reach the end with you…

Start with the end in mind - what's the one thing you want to leave the audience with? Then keep breaking that down into sub points

Through the years, I learned to think and research the topic before starting a presentation. I take notes in Notion. The slides only carry the main points I want my audience to remember. Sometimes an image suffices, and I tell the rest. So, I only start building the presentation when my ideas are clear. Detailed information goes to the appendix because some people love to dig the topic down. My last presentation was a pitch deck, and I did it on Canva in less than an hour.

Writing everything I want to say in note form before creating my presentation.

I look online for free PPT templates that are visually sophisticated. I then organize or create all graphs/tables necessary and plonk the information in the PPT.

I will draft the main ideas first and put them into the main slides, other small details I design and will add later or consider not putting too many words in the presentation to make it more concise, easy to read and follow core contents.

(1) Think about the message I'm trying to get across. (2) Type out thinking - literally everything that needs to come across (at this point it's just words - doesn't need to be polished). (3) Structure (2) into a story that starts with a problem statement/initial setting/premise, mentions points in the mid-section & ends with the message of (1). (4) Cut out words. (5) Stop and do something else. (6) Then come back & cut out any unnecessary words. (7) BONUS for speech presentations: get a nice amount of white-space & diagrams/visuals - this helps people glance & stay on track with what you are saying vs just zoning out and reading everything before you've said what you've needed to
