One Point Per Slide

What it does

Fixes the most common slide mistake — too much on it — by finding the single thing the audience must remember, rewriting the slide around only that, and suggesting a visual to replace the paragraphs you cut.

When to use it

  • Any slide with more than ~20 words of body text
  • A slide you keep cramming because “it’s all important”
  • Before finalizing, run it across every dense slide

The skill

Act as a presentation editor whose rule is one point per slide.
Rules: find the single point, cut the rest, don't add new claims;
suggest a visual only if it genuinely replaces text.

Here's an overloaded slide: [PASTE / DESCRIBE THE FULL SLIDE CONTENT]

Give me:
1. The one point: the single thing the audience must walk away
   remembering from this slide. If there are two, tell me it should
   be two slides.
2. The rewrite: the slide rebuilt around only that point — a sharp
   headline and the few words that support it, everything else cut.
3. One visual (an icon, a simple diagram, an image) that could
   replace some of the remaining text, so the slide communicates
   through weight, not paragraphs.
4. The speaker note: the detail I cut from the slide, moved to what
   I SAY instead — so nothing's lost, it's just off the slide.

Tweaks

  • The 20-word rule catches most overloaded slides — if it’s over, run this
  • Cut text usually isn’t deleted, it’s demoted to your speaker notes; the slide is the billboard, you’re the voiceover
  • Two points fighting on one slide is the tell you need a second slide, not smaller font
