Presenting and PowerPoint
One-day seminar: storyline, slide titles that state the point, slide master and data slides. You leave with a finished deck.
Most presentations fail before the first slide, on the question of what should stick. So the morning runs without computers: we look at what convinces an audience, how a storyline comes together and how a slide title turns into a statement.
In the afternoon participants build their own deck from a real text of their organisation and develop it across the day. I show the software steps on the projector, the work happens on your own machine.
Content and modules
- What convinces: analysing weak examples in small groups
- Storyline: building by topic, pyramid and funnel, what to do with the agenda
- Action titles: the title states the point, not the topic
- Building your own deck: structure and titles from a real text
- Working efficiently: aligning, distributing, duplicating, shortcuts
- Consistent slides: slide master, layouts, design settings
- Showing data: making the point visible at a glance, bringing in tables and charts
- Final polish: restrained animation, transitions, presenter view
By the end participants can
- State the core message in one sentence and build the slides around it
- Check a presentation against audience and goal and set the storyline
- Build slides pyramid style, message first, evidence second
- Write action titles
- Prepare data and charts so the point is visible immediately
- Use master and layouts for consistency and speed

Tell me where things are stuck right now.
A first conversation costs nothing. Afterwards you know whether consulting, a training or coaching fits your situation, and whether we fit each other.
