W: Could you help me out with this presentation?
M: Sure. You’re using your laptop, right?
W: Yes. Take a quick look and let me know what you think.
M: There’s a lot of information on these slides.  If there’s too much, the audience will stop listening to you and become focused on reading them.
W: But there’s so much that I need to say.
M: I’d suggest cutting down the number of words on each slide or increasing the number of slides. Or both!
W: Last time I gave a presentation to this group of people, a few said there wasn’t enough information. I guess I’ll have to increase the number of slides.
M: Don’t have too many or you’ll have to race through them to get the presentation finished in time. Use buzzwords instead of whole sentences.
W: Buzzwords?
M: You know. Don’t say "It makes your company more efficient". Instead just say "Increases efficiency"
W: What do you think of the background?
M: Not bad, but a little dark for my taste. In my experience, younger, more junior people prefer brighter colours whereas higher-ups prefer…well, dark blue, for example.
