1 Why use bullet points and lists?

Bullet points and lists are visual aids that can simplify complex or detailed information, emphasize key messages or takeaways, create contrast or comparison, provide examples or evidence, and break down steps or processes. This can make your content easier to remember, understand, and apply. In addition, these tools can help you and your audience follow the logic and flow of your speech.

Your bullet point list should be short and simple. It helps you organize your content in your mind. It is merely a mental prompt list to keep your thoughts organized and on point so that you don't wander and waste time.

While bullet points can help you to organize information, you don’t want to rely on reading through bullet points during your presentation. I use bullet points sparingly because they can easily become a wall of words that creates disconnection between you and the audience. People don’t want you to repeat what they can read on the screen. Instead, I take a key idea and create a one line summary that I expound upon in my own words. That way, the audience is connecting with me and message instead of reading my slide.

2 How to create bullet points and lists?

When creating effective bullet points and lists, it's important to follow certain principles. To ensure success, use parallel structure, consistent punctuation, clear and concise language, and appropriate numbers. For example, introduce your list with a colon or a dash and end each item with a period or comma. Additionally, avoid unnecessary words or jargon and use active verbs and specific nouns. Lastly, use numbers or letters to order your list if there is a sequence or hierarchy, or use bullets or symbols if there is no order or priority.

When I do utilize bullet lists, I make sure to limit the information to 3-5 short points. I have a main headline to let the audience know what the bullets are breaking down, and then I use the same sentence structure and punctuation to lay out the 3-5 bullet points. Each bullet point should cover one thought and should not be a paragraph long. Including lengthy bullet points defeats the purpose of using this structure.

3 How to present bullet points and lists?

To present your bullet points and lists effectively, you need to consider how they fit into your overall speech. For example, you should introduce your list to the audience by telling them what you are going to cover and how many items there are in your list. Additionally, transitions like first, second, next, finally, for example, in addition, on the other hand, etc. should be used to connect your items and guide your audience. Furthermore, gestures and eye contact can be used to emphasize or count your items and engage the audience. Finally, it is important to vary your tone and pace with pauses, stress, and intonation to highlight your items and create interest and contrast.

If you have bullet points that are short and to the point, you might want to use stories to go more in depth on each point. Storytelling creates connection with the audience and can provide an example of the point covered in your bullet. You’ll want to shift your demeanor to match the tone and message of your story moment to moment, as this brings the audience into the emotion behind what you are sharing.

4 How to avoid common pitfalls?

When using bullet points and lists in your public speaking content, it's important to avoid common mistakes. For example, don't overuse them or you will lose the impact and attention of your audience. Additionally, be sure to make your bullet points and lists the appropriate length - not too long or too short. Aim for three to seven items per list, depending on the context and purpose. Lastly, make sure to use the same design and layout for your bullet points and lists throughout your speech; mixing different types of bullet points and lists can create inconsistency and distraction.
