Why are most presentations so bad? Truly terrible? They’re too wordy, text-based, and generally dull. They don’t tell stories that engage, excite, or inspire. And they generally do little actually to help people learn. They are linear and non-responsive, with no interaction. Pretty much everything you know doesn’t work to convey information effectively. Few people enjoy creating, delivering, or watching PowerPoint presentations, so let’s change that.
This session is packed full of techniques to create mind-blowing presentations. You’ll explore how the layout of your slides can have an impact on both the look and professionalism of them but also the way that the audience can start to interpret the information. You’ll see how you can apply layouts consistently across your entire presentation quickly and easily so that you’re not spending ages fiddling around with small details. There will be a discussion on what makes a good slide, how to focus on the needs of the audience, and what part visuals can play in creating a compelling and engaging story that helps you communicate effectively. Then delve into advanced techniques for true visual storytelling, incorporating meaningful visualization and use of animation to bring your story to life and ultimately an effective PowerPoint design.
Because it will all be live in PowerPoint, it will be easy to pivot into new areas, looking at the issues that cause you the most problems and how to solve them – whether that’s just for you or for your entire team. You’ll see some of the lesser-known but immensely powerful tools PowerPoint has to offer, as well as some of the newer functions that have appeared recently, which can really help support successful communication and overall PowerPoint design.
