Overview:
We'll begin by showing you how and why you should begin every presentation with an outline. The outline then becomes the framework of the presentation itself. Then we cover how to create and apply Microsoft Themes to get the precise look and feel that represents your organization’s identity.
You'll see how to take your current company presentation template and turn it into a theme that can be repurposed all throughout Microsoft Office. You will finally understand how to leverage the Slide Master to create multiple slide layouts that are consistent from presentation to presentation.
With a firm grasp of Slide Masters, the days of tweaking individual slides for formatting will finally be over. From there we discuss how to enhance and add content to get your ideas across as optimally as possible, why bullet points aren't always the best idea, and how to apply animation purposefully. Finally we look at how to deal with specific types of content like photos, charts, and diagrams.
Why you should Attend:
PowerPoint is the tool business professionals use most often. But, most people are not using it optimally, the way it was intended. So, the average presentation can take hour upon frustrating hour to put together.
As an international speaker and trainer, presentation media is my stock in trade. With over 60 presentations to do a year, I want to work the most efficiently I can. Whether you do 6 or 60, so do you! Your time and talent are valuable! So, why would you waste any of it fighting the application to get across your ideas effectively? Not only will the methods shown to you in this program potentially cut the time it takes to craft an impactful presentation by more than half, it will also reduce the frustration to almost nothing!
