3 Bullet Point Protocols to Keep Audiences Happy

Stop reading them aloud.

        I can read faster than you can talk and have finished the page while you are on "Point 1."

Keep it short.

         Three-to-five words per bullet are ideal. Complete sentences are not necessary. Multiple-sentence bullets are a faux pas.

Use body language instead of bullets where possible .

          As the speaker/leader, your own body can indicate powerful bullets in space as you speak, which creates more energy in the room and focuses audience attention on the issues at hand.

          For more insight on how to effectively win an audience to your perspective, call LodeStar Universal.
