When bullet points go so bad they are not needed (Episode #244)
e244 of The Presentation Podcast! 🎙️ Troy, Nolan, and I are diving into when bullet points help, and when they hurt your slides. Can you guess which position we took?
If your decks are drowning in bullets, this episode is for you! Check out why bullet points don’t work (and suggested alternatives) in the following scenarios:
* When items form a process or sequence
* When items represent categories or pillars
* When each item deserves its own moment
* When the content is a comparison
* When the content is data-driven
* When the content is a decision or recommendation
* When the content is meant to persuade
* When the content is meant to show hierarchy
* When the content is meant to show progress
* When the content is a set of questions
