An effective slide presentation successfully establishes a transactional relationship between the presenter and the audience.
|
| |
 |
Common perception suggests that on average 10-15% of slide presentations are absorbed by the audience. This is a perverse way of saying 85-90% of preparation and presentation time is wasted.

 |
Death by PowerPoint is a major factor. Using technology to 'give good slide' obscures the proper intention – to give good message.
|
| |
 |
Assuming a low level of interest in the first place is a safe wicket. The workshop introduces tools and techniques which alert the audience to something interesting – from the very beginning.
|
| |
 |
The workshop exploits the importance of treating the 3 interrelated elements of slide presentation as equally important, i.e:
• The screen
• The speaker
• The handout
|
| |
 |
Unique tools and techniques show how to build each element and then link them in a powerful cohesion.

 |
Sifting MESSAGE from DETAIL will automatically produce a more effective slide show. The workshop shows delegates how to focus and lead on MESSAGE, using detail as the EVIDENCE.
|
| |
 |
The importance of the HANDOUT is examined and exploited. Creating it as an item of perceived value (i.e. not simply photocopies of the slides) adds equity to the presentation.
|
| |
At the end of the course, delegates will know they can always produce and present a slide show which:
• Holds attention throughout
• Achieves its objectives
