The Last Slides in Your PowerPoint presentation

Have you ever attended a power point presentation and unplanned slides or the presenters desk top accidentally shown on the screen at the beginning and end of the presentation? I know it happens. Here are tips to keep your desk top from ruining your credibility as a speaker.
Make sure the desktop on the laptop you will be using in your presentation in clean and orderly and doesn't have questionable icons or folders labeled with anything weird or before your presentation move everything on your desktop into one folder and hide it. Check what will be your open PowerPoint window if you press the “next” button one too many times. To be safe, when every you create a power point presentation make sure you add a few extra blank slides at the end of your presentation. My recommendation is if you choose to do a Power Point presentation that the first five minutes and the last five minutes of the presentation should be slide free so that you can build a relationship with the audience at the beginning and cement that relationship at the end of your speech.
But if you are going to be projecting contents of your laptop onto a big ole screen for everyone in your audience to see make sure what they see makes you look your best.
