Writing Slide Content

Slides should support your message, not replace it. ChatGPT can help you write concise, impactful slide content that enhances your presentation.

Slide Content Principles

Good slides have:

• One idea per slide - Don't overload
• Minimal text - Audiences read OR listen, not both
• Clear headlines - The takeaway, not the topic
• Visual support - Charts, images, diagrams

Writing Slide Headlines

From Topic to Takeaway

Don't write: "Q3 Sales Results" Write: "Q3 Sales Exceeded Target by 15%"

Key Takeaways

1. Headlines state insights - Not just topics
2. Less text always - If in doubt, cut it
3. Parallel structure - Bullets should match grammatically
4. One idea per slide - Don't overcrowd
5. Visual over text - Show when you can
6. Slides support speaking - They don't replace you
7. Test the headline flow - Headlines alone should tell the story
