HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!
Don't even THINK
about reaching for
those bullet points!

WHY?
![Page 4: How to Make Bullet Points Vanish](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042604/587a362e1a28abdb1c8b5a67/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Do you want
to be guilty of
causing Death by
PowerPoint?

I should think not!
![Page 6: How to Make Bullet Points Vanish](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042604/587a362e1a28abdb1c8b5a67/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But have no fear.
Making bullet points vanish does not
require voodoo.

simple steps:
Just follow these

Start
with a completely
blank slide. 1

Then,
think of the
bullet one point
you want to make
with that
slide.

Blogs are like sharks

Finally,
imagine a
visual representation
for that one
point.

Now, suppose you feel that each bullet
sub-point is important enough to
warrant its own slide.

Rinse and repeat

A shark must keep
moving or die.
A blog must be regularly
updated or it too will die.
How often should you
update your blog?
Some successful blogs
are updated once a
week, others several
times a day.
The key is to be consistent.

more challenging.

This made me sad
because I nearly
missed learning
about fascinating
and important
developments in the
realm of organizational
leadership – due in great
part to a dull PowerPoint.
See for yourself…
