Building PowerPoint Presentations and Presentation Skills

Don’t Forget, the Presenter Needs Skills Too!

Join Barrie Morse, a Microsoft Certified Master trainer, of Dragon Corporate Training for this workshop.

There are rules, guidelines, and some very real do’s & don’ts when it comes to creating effective presentations with PowerPoint.   Knowing which tools work best in which situation could be the difference between a stimulating or sleep-inducing presentation.

We work for hours on our presentations. We meticulously source images and graphics, we read and re-read our slides so that they make sense and we can memorize them, we check our slide order, check our animation, etc. etc. etc. But we forget the most important part of any presentation – the
presenter!

Presenting, to any size audience, doesn’t come easily or naturally to most people. There’s actually a medical term for the fear of it – Glossophobia. Yet with a few relatively easy to master skills, presentations to a business audience can be effective and easy for the presenter to create, guide and control.

In this workshop we will cover the techniques and methods used to create effective presentations.

Topics will include:

• Effective Rules and Guidelines
• Essential Elements of a Slide
• Using Slide Masters
• Effective Animation
• Creating Custom Shows
• Presentation Tips and Tricks
• Connecting with the Audience
• Dealing with Problems
• Voice Coaching
• Notes and Handouts
• Presenting with PowerPoint

These 2, half day workshops will be instructor-led, hands-on and specifically designed for maximum retention and understanding.

*These are online workshops and attendees will be emailed a Zoom link prior to the session date.
