PowerPoint - Mastering Design and Impact
Course Description
YOU are the presentation; your PowerPoint slides are only visual aids. There are millions of PPT presentations created every day. These slide shows are intended as a tool to support and enhance presentations, but often they not only fail to meet the mark, they can confuse, distract, and cause message resistance in your audience. In this course, we will provide you with the strategies to design slides that deliver optimal results by increasing both audience understanding and acceptance of your message. You will be able to create slides that significantly enhance your presentation. We will show you precisely what to include and what to exclude from your next PowerPoint.
