Course Outline

In an era with multimedia technology at our finger tips the days of traditional Power Point presentations made up of never ending bullet points are no longer effective. Now more than ever effective presentation and public speaking skills are essential to ensure that you engage and connect with your audience and get your message heard.
Many of us are frequently called to make presentations, and usually follow the traditional MS PowerPoint templates. Bullet point after bullet point, trying to get the most information possible out to our audience. Surprisingly, in presentation, less is often more.

Microsoft PowerPoint™ is an extremely useful tool for the presenter – it is also the most misused tool. Slides filled with bullet points and reams of text become a barrier to good communication. Find out how a more creative approach to using Microsoft PowerPoint™ can enhance how you create and present your information to your audience.

This course concentrates on helping people to make the best use of Microsoft PowerPoint™, by developing slides and handouts that add meaning and impact. Participants will learn how to make information come alive and to deliver dynamic, persuasive presentations with ease.
