Choose the Right Chart for Your Slide
When displaying data in a presentation, clarity matters above all else. Your audience has to get meaning from your numbers before you click away. This means you need to pick the right chart for the job. The most common charts in business are pies, bars, matrixes, and line graphs, which will serve different purposes depending on the data:

Use a line graph instead of a bar chart if the shape of the line will draw attention to your most important point.

Use a matrix instead of multiple pie charts if you want to show relationships between the data points.

Call out a number. Sometimes the best chart is no chart at all. If a certain figure conveys your key message most clearly on its own, show just that number — huge — on the slide.

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.

different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any
action is better than no action at all.”

— Norman Vincent Peale

Drive is to strive vigorously toward a goal or objective.

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”
