The Slide Makeover Guide
If someone reads your deck without you presenting it, do they get the story?
A deck that only makes sense with narration isn’t a self-explanatory document. Replace vague headers with the actual point. Every time.
When to use it
- Before sending any deck that will be forwarded or read standalone
- When a slide title is a topic instead of a point
- As an audit pass on any existing deck
What it gives you
- Full-sentence titles that carry the point on their own
- Supporting content that proves the title, not just decorates it
- A five-point audit checklist to run before you send

How to run it — The makeover pattern
- 01
Find vague titles
“Q3 Results” or “Next Steps” — topics, not points.
Scan
- 02
Write the point
Rewrite as a full sentence stating the actual takeaway.
Per slide
- 03
Prove it below
Supporting bullets should prove the title, not repeat it.
Per slide
- 04
Run the audit
Five-point checklist before you hit send.
Final pass
The trap
Bullet points as filler instead of proof. If the title states the point, every bullet below it should be evidence — not restatement.
