Countless are the number of times we see speakers –however talented they may be-  completely miss their point because of the overwhelming volume and often uninteresting design of their PowerPoint slides. Adding complex graphs, screaming colours, unsuitable fonts, useless animations and uninspired images to your presentation will not only prevent you from making a clear point, your audience’s attention is also likely to fade after a couple of minutes. This is an inconvenience to avoid at all cost as PowerPoint slides are meant to boost your message, not destroy it.

During this practical workshop you will learn how to combine interesting presentations with powerful content, a strong story and the accurate slides to go with them.
