PowerPoint to Powerhouse - Transform your Business Presentations

Pulling off a successful business presentation can be a herculean task. Presentations come in many forms and purposes, from an intimate business pitch to a mass onboarding briefing for a cohort of new colleagues. The proliferation of online content and social media throws a spanner into the works: audiences have shorter attention spans, demand quicker information, and are only interested in relevant content. Delivering an effective presentation now calls for speakers to draw not only on the traditional planks of public speaking such as gravitas, clarity, and persuasiveness; but also to leverage on digital tools and platforms that keep audiences motivated, engaged, and informed.

This highly-interactive and hands-on course has something in store for everyone. Those among us who are adequate presenters will learn how to adapt and tailor their mastery of fundamental presentation skills to changing audiences and modalities. Those wishing to revisit basic presentation techniques will be introduced to core principles that underlie effective presentations such as preparation, research, slide-writing, and audience engagement.

The course is conducted progressively in two main parts. First, learners will discuss the fundamentals of creating effective presentations using the PDF method – preparation, delivery, and follow-up. Emphasis will be placed on delivery techniques that capture an audience’s attention and maximise retention for key information presented. Second, learners will be equipped with tips and techniques for creating memorable and engaging presentations using digital tools and platforms. In this second part, learners will also pick up additional pointers for delivering both synchronous and asynchronous presentations through online platforms such as Zoom.
