Description
Welcome to this online learning course on Creating Compelling Presentations.
This Course is designed for students and business professionals seeking practical advice on how to quickly design and write an effective presentation. By the end of the Course, you will know how to create a strong presentation, and will understand how to best put across your point of view and recommendations.
This course quickly teaches you how to create powerful presentations that meet the specific needs of your audience. It will teach you how to build the presentations that put across the message that you want, in the way that you want, and in a manner that convinces the audience.
The approach and techniques that you will learn are the same techniques used by global consulting firms to build the high-impact presentations that they make to clients.
The Course starts by teaching you how to understand the audience members and their characteristics. You will also understand how to plan the presentation structure and define the overall message. I also teach you how to format the presentation for a great professional look and to get maximum clarity for the audience.
What makes this course different is that the lessons learnt can be applied to any one-to-one or small team meeting, where you need to talk to an an audience about a decision or course of action, and not just for large formal presentations using slides.
