bullets do not save time.

memos save time.

bullets are gotchas lying in wait

to be brought up later.

bullets do not make it easier

to remember what's being said.

bullets create tension about what the next one will say

instead of actually communicating your idea.

bullets are almost always misused

as a disorderly, almost random, list.

bullets don't naturally map

to the way we process and remember ideas.

if bullets are the official style of your organization,

using them is a form of being invisible.

bullets make it far easier

to read your presentation to people in the room.

for those with no time to practice or unable to say what's in their heart,

bullets are perfect.

after all, presentations aren't about

The most concise exposition of facts.

They're about CHANGING MINDS.
