How to Create a Presentation (CPE64)


Description
Objective: Presenting client pitches, customer education sessions or team updates is part of everyday business activities. You must be able to quickly identify what to include and exclude from your presentation to make it successful and create a PowerPoint presentation that gets the result you want.

To be successful in today's presentations, you need to have 2 things:

- Presentation Skills
- Microsoft PowerPoint Skills

Many people attend full-day presentation skills training and then a full day of PowerPoint training when all they need is some gap-filling to improve their presentation outcomes immediately. In this course, we cover a range of topics, from determining your desired outcome and the principles of adult learning to slide decks and ideas for consistent presentations.

NOTE: This course is similar to the 1-hour Presentation Power Webinar, except topics have been segmented to make building a presentation easier.
