This course coaches participants in one of the two most important aspects of powerful presentations:  creating high-impact slides and materials.  For part two of the course, sign up for Projectng Personal Presence.

Our highly-coached program assists each participant to create presentations that grab and hold an audience's attention guiding them to the decision you want.

Our coaches for this session—Aaron and Amee—are experts in this field who will help identify and magnify participants’ strengths.

We'll start with understanding the power of a succinct message with a clear ask.  Working through a discipline of tight presentation storyboarding.

Then participants begin the long and painful road to PowerPoint detoxification, whereby we break the bad habits of over complicated, busy, pointless slides, and replace them with clean, interesting, effective visuals.  We'll cover fonts, photography, logos, transitions and those dreaded bullet points.  We'll include tips on technology, selecting venues, and using music backdrops.

We encourage participants to come to the session with a presentation they're currently working on, or recently delivered, to work on as an example.

Ideal participants: Anyone who needs to get decisions made in a presentation environment.
