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
