Do your slides as the last thing

Many keynote speakers rely on slides to structure their presentations. While a beautiful set of slides is essential for a successful presentation, they should not be the core focus. Ideally, they should actually be the last element you create. Before designing your slides, define your core message, structure, and supporting arguments. This ensures your presentation is compelling and can stand on its own, even without visuals.
This approach demands a shift in perspective: prioritize your message, then determine how to best present it visually.
