How to Determine the Length of your Presentation

Do you determine the length of your presentation based on the amount of slides you have in your PowerPoint deck?  Don’t be a slide counter!  A common misconception is that the amount of slides will determine the length of a presentation.  This typically will cause people to cut down on the amount of slides and put too much information on a slide.  Too much information on a slide can make it too cluttered and confusing for your audience, and can even make your presentation longer than expected

It’s time to clean up your slides.  Next time you prepare a presentation, count the amount of clicks, not slides.  The average time a person tends to spend per click is about one minute.  So go ahead add more slides to your presentation.  Your slides will now be clean and more presentable for your audience.
