  5. Don't parrot PowerPoint • One of the most prevalent and damaging habits of PowerPoint users is to simply read the visual presentation to the audience.

PowerPoint works best with spoken remarks that augment and discuss, rather than mimic, what's on the screen. "Even with PowerPoint, you've got to make eye contact with your audience," says Roberta Prescott of The Prescott Group, a Connecticut-based communications consulting firm. "Those people didn't come to see the back of your head."
