Optimize Your Presentation Mind Map

There is a common misconception that you need to put all the related information into your presentation slides as they are extra materials for audiences’ references after the presentation.

Thus, speakers should use bullets for displaying key ideas and eye-catching images for arrest attention of attendees.
