Most presentation problems aren't design problems.
They're prioritization problems.
When I redesign a slide, I don't start with colors, icons, or animations.
I start with one question:
"What is the audience supposed to remember?"
If a slide contains five competing messages, the audience usually remembers none of them.
The goal isn't to show everything.
The goal is to make the right thing impossible to miss.
What's the biggest presentation mistake you see people make?

Well said. In many business presentations, the challenge isn't adding more information, it's deciding what to remove so the audience immediately sees the key takeaway.
