Everyone uses PowerPoint at work for project plans, status updates, strategic proposals, research reports and presentations. Yet, most of us have never been trained on how to use PowerPoint effectively, which can result in jumbled, overly dense and amateur-looking slides that can negatively affect your personal brand.

In this workshop, Kelvin Gee, Sr. Director of Marketing Enablement at Oracle, teaches you 9 powerful and effective techniques that will make your slides more clear, convincing and professional-looking.

After this workshop, you will not be able to look at a PowerPoint slide the same way. You’ll see what’s wrong, why it’s wrong and what you need to do to fix it. And if you manage a team, you’ll be able to coach them to improve their own presentations.

After this workshop, attendees will be able to:

• Slide: Communicate a message clearly using the slide title, the right mix of text and pictures, and eliminate “walls of words” forever;
• Design: Use graphic design rules to make more professional-looking, convincing and clear slides; and
• Graphs: Build graphs and tables that clearly communicate the underlying story.
• Pre-Work: Bring a cringe-worthy slide for a makeover during class.
