Course Description
Most successful leaders are often excellent communicators. They can clearly articulate a specific objective and align their team to a specific vision. Subject matter expertise is certainly important, but communicating that expertise effectively is just as important. Business presentations are one of the most common and useful ways to share a vision with a team or client. The tool of choice for most professionals is Microsoft PowerPoint for its ease of use, powerful features, and that it is included in the Office ecosystem.
Some of us have put together at least one presentation in our careers, but most of us need a better working knowledge of the application. Further, most don’t have a good understanding of how an effective presentation comes together. An effective presentation is more than just slapping together a couple of slides and having endless bullet points. It’s about telling a great story and getting your audience invested in the outcome. This course will review the best features and functions of PowerPoint. You are giving yourself the knowledge to put together your next presentation technically. Further, it will help you understand the bigger picture of business presentations and help you design the great story you want to tell.
