Power Point Presentations (Two Hours)

Many business presenters make it a common practice to utilize PowerPoint when called upon to communicate on the job. PowerPoint slides are commonly used in business presentations such as user group meetings, during product or service pitches at customer sites and in employee orientation programs. Power Point has become so common in the business world that one would be hard-pressed to find another presentation tool in use in a presentation environment. While there are those who are quite adept with using Power Point, even the most experienced presenter can use some assistance with the proper way to lay out and create PowerPoint slides. These power users simply need some tips and tricks on how to use the application to their advantage. This workshop is designed for experienced Power Point users who need that extra guiding hand in learning how to create the most effective slides for use in the classroom or the conference room. This is an advanced training session that focuses solely on how to create and lay out slides, not how to use Power Point.

The ability to create effective slides is sometimes lost on even the most experienced speakers. Some slides are convoluted and overflowing with too much information. We teach presenters how to create a presentation that will have the greatest possible impact on an audience. By building upon the existing skills of participants, we focus on structure, layout, format, flow and how to create visually appealing slides. This advanced program utilizes various teaching methods to reinforce the concepts we teach. These valuable skills can be used whether one has to deliver a presentation only once or on a repeated basis. Attendees will learn by getting to create sample Power Point slides that can be implemented following the training session. Discussion sessions, exercises and other training activities allow participants to put to use the skills. This approach enables participants to learn by doing so that skills are real and tangible.
