HARNESSING POWERPOINT®


Slide Presentations With A Pulse!

1-Day Interactive/ Idea-Generating Workshop

REALITY: Slide presentations are a part of doing business, and most of them cause an audience to ‘turn off’ rather than ‘tune in.’

The solution? This workshop! We’ll help you create and deliver PowerPoint® presentations that are interesting, effective, and memorable. You’ll learn a fresh approach; one that combines information with visuals, experiences, and stories to connect you with an audience in a credible, captivating manner. Simply put (though it may sound a bit corny), we’re going to teach you how to take the “Ow!” out of PowerPoint.
You’ll have the opportunity to refurbish one of your current presentations to maximize visual support, clarity of message, and audience comprehension. Plus you’ll get some practice under your belt delivering your new deck which will help you gain a better understanding of the power of Simplicity, Story, and You!

Interactive, Learn-By-Doing Approach

The floor will be lined with pillows so don’t be afraid to fall.

Well, it won’t really be lined with pillows, but it will be a ‘safe’ environment and that should make it easier for you to try new things. We’ll do all we can to bolster your confidence by providing tools and guidance, and if you’re stuck, we’ll work together to get you unstuck. The key is to bring an open mind and a willingness to embrace a new perspective.
It takes work to bring new ideas to life. Letting go of old beliefs or habits is tough, yet that’s exactly what you’ll be asked to do.
