Geetesh Bajaj here.  As one of my valued subscribers, I suggest you seriously consider this workshop.  Dave is well known in the presentation world and he is a top notch talent - great ideas and the ability to clearly show you how to do it.  Check this out.

You know how to create a PowerPoint presentation. But you know that you could be more effective if you just knew the secrets of the pros. You know you could spend less time creating your slides if you just knew those tips and tricks that would speed things up.

You don’t want a two or three day “everything you don’t need to know” course. You want a one day intensive, focused workshop where you get to see what works, why it works and how to do it.

You want to learn from someone who makes presentations for a living and can explain things clearly, not some computer expert who has never made a business presentation in their life. You want someone who is an author of a book from a leading communications publisher as your expert.

If this is you, read on.

On March 14th in New York City, you have the opportunity to attend the one-day Think Outside The Slide™ workshop. You will see examples of what works (and what doesn’t), learn why it works with audiences (based on research), and see how to do it (bring your laptop if you want, but it is not necessary). Your workshop leader is Dave Paradi, MBA, the co-author of “Guide to PowerPoint”, the latest book in the Prentice Hall Series on Advanced Business Communication and a professional speaker. You will walk away with knowledge that will cut hours off your slide creation time and improve the effectiveness of your presentations.

Here are the topics you will cover:
Slide Design
- The problems with most templates in use today
- How you can select colors that work in almost any room
- How to design a clean, clear look for your slides

Text Slides
- When you should use sentences and when you should use bullet points
- Why less is more for text slides

Clip Art and Photographs
- How you can select appropriate images for your slides
- How to use digital photos so they don’t make your presentation so large it runs slowly and can’t be e-mailed
- Two ways to use photos to help make your points stick in the mind of your audience

Graphs and Diagrams
- Why you don’t want to use the default PowerPoint graphs
- The 8 step process to cleaning up PowerPoint graphs
- How you can create almost any diagram (process, flow, relationship, etc.) that you need using tools in PowerPoint
