Description
PowerPoint is an essential communications tool for both in-person and online presentations. A well-crafted visual presentation can greatly enhance a speaker’s effectiveness, credibility and confidence. Unfortunately, there is often little consideration usually given to creating just the right collaboration between presenter and his or her visuals.
In these Live Zoom workshops with Tom Nixon you will discover:
- The 8 Power Steps to PowerPoint Success
- How to begin a project
- Asking the right questions
- Understanding the critical parameters of speaker skills, comfort level, audience needs and subject matter
- The essential differences between online and in-person presentations
- Working with a script or outline
- Creating message clarity
- Creating a “look” vs. using templates
- How trim your onscreen words
- How and where to find just the right image
- How to display data for maximum impact
- Building a sample slide set for approval
What this course is NOT:
- It is not a beginner’s “how to guide” for the PowerPoint program. It is assumed that the registrant will have a working knowledge of PowerPoint and other necessary software either on the Mac or PC.
- It is also not a “how to” for various animation tricks and effects. We will discuss animation that adds to the success of the project but we will leave the flashy swirling words and graphics to the amateurs.
Becoming an effective PowerPoint designer requires a graphic designer’s eye, an understanding of the basic software and, most important, a substantial understanding of presentations and how speakers can effectively communicate with their audiences.
Success requires a merging of these two art forms: effective design and effective presentations. That is what we will explore in this workshop.
Webinar participants are encouraged to share some of their own projects for constructive feedback. Pick samples that illustrate issues you have struggled with or have found solutions for.
There will be ample time for Q&A.
Who should attend: Anyone who is responsible for PowerPoint visuals either for a client or for their own presentations.
My goal is to give registrants the tools and techniques I have learned and developed over my long career that will enable you to build powerful, professional presentations either for yourself or your client.
Note that by participating in this webinar you are authorizing your likeness and your work to appear in the video recording, which will be posted on public websites such as YouTube.
Information you provide when registering will be shared with the account owner and host and can be used and shared by them in accordance with their Terms and Privacy Policy.
