Overview

Learn how to use techniques and effects to help engage your audience and draw their attention to the points that matter.

We cover six key topics that will help you produce more impactful business presentations:

  1. The best slide transitions and animations for business presentations
  2. The morph transition to make the narration of an agenda, or similar list, or a team photograph extremely slick and professional
  3. The Zoom effect to create a summary slide with hyperlinks to zoom into the section that you or your audience choose
  4. How to animate charts to highlight the key points you want to bring out
  5. How to embed Excel tables with slicers into PowerPoint, and why PowerPoint is not developed enough to make this useful for a business presentation
  6. How to turn your PowerPoint presentation into a video. This is the technique I am most often asked how to do.

Description

PowerPoint is good for presenting business results or for a training course, but you need to plan your slideshow carefully to avoid bullet-point boredom and to keep your audience engaged and interested. And that is the purpose of this course – to teach you PowerPoint techniques which you may not be familiar with, and which will help you improve the impact of your business presentations.

This course focuses on key techniques that can help you improve the impact of the presentations you create.

On completion of the course, delegates will be able to:

  • Identify the most useful slide transitions and animations for business presentations
  • Use the morph transition to draw the audience’s attention
  • Create a “zoom” summary slide to jump to user-selected sections of slides
  • Animate charts to highlight key points
  • Embed a Microsoft Excel table in a PowerPoint slide

Create a video with commentary of their PowerPoint presentation

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
