But if you need a specific icon that you cant find or if you want a special spin to your icon (color, shadow etc) you can use PowerPoints great (and somewhat hidden) Merge Shapes commands to create your own icons.

The document provides 10 tips for creating captivating presentations based on lessons from famous presenters like Steve Jobs, Scott Harrison, and Gary Vaynerchuk. The tips include crafting an emotional story with a beginning, middle, and end; creating slides that answer why the audience should care, how it will improve their lives, and what they must do; using simple language without jargon; using metaphors; ditching bullet points; showing rather than just telling through images; rehearsing extensively; and that excellence requires hard work with no shortcuts.
Rand Fishkin discusses why content marketing often fails and provides 5 key reasons: 1) Unrealistic expectations of how content marketing works, 2) Creating content without a community to amplify it, 3) Focusing on content creation but not amplification, 4) Ignoring search engine optimization, and 5) Giving up too soon and not allowing time for content to gain traction. He emphasizes that content marketing is a long-term process of building relationships and that most successful content took years of iteration before gaining significant reach.
The document provides principles for presenting data in the clearest way possible: tell the truth and ensure credibility with data; get to the main point by drawing meaning from the data; pick the right tool like pie, bar, or line graphs depending on the data; highlight what's important by keeping slides focused on conclusions, not all data; and keep visuals simple to avoid distractions.
