Here's a simple fix:

Instead of just presenting information, tell a story.

A story about how you encounter a problem, solve it, introduce a new conflict, and resolve it, and so on.

Keep creating curiosity loops to engage/re-hook your audience.

*Slides without slide titles*

When I first tried presenting WITHOUT slide titles, everything flowed so much better! (totally validated ... by me)!

Give it a shot! Once you try it, you’ll never want to go back.

*Empty initial slides*

What’s a better starting point than that default slide layout?

A completely blank slide.

It helps you explore the design space and focus on delivering a clear, compelling story.

*Bullet points*

The second thing the layout prompts you to do?
("Click to add text").

Start a bullet list.

Among so many creative forms of presenting your ideas, it nudges you toward the most boring one: a list. 🔢

*Slide title*

The first thing this layout does is to ask you to add a slide title.

Seems reasonable, right? visuals, this encourages you to
1) lead your presentation with text instead of visuals and
2) cram in many titles in a talk, making it harder to maintain a narrative flow.
