Getting your presentation to flow as a seamless, smooth, and solidified story.
The ability to seamlessly coalesce information into an effective visual presentation is a formidable skill for professionals who seek to gain a competitive advantage.
This course is a practical quick-start guide to teach you how to connect your presentation ideas into a compelling narrative using Transitions. Transitions allow you to visually conduct the elements of information into a presentation symphony to engage your audience.
I reveal how to energize your slide progression by using Transitions to cure the boring and predictable lifelessness that has become the norm. To start, I teach you effective ways to introduce your slides with intentional meaning by sharing the essentials of using Transitions. Next, I share their purpose and power to help you add interest and smoothness to your presentation prowess amplifying your content for an engaging experience. Then, I walk you through common workplace examples, actually using real Transitions, to help you see and imagine how your next presentation can engender effortless conveyance to your audience, elevate your organizational profile, and highlight your professional value.
This course is the last in a series of three designed to provide the practical skills and knowledge for the effective presentation and delivery of information. Each course shares invaluable insight, “how to” instructions, and real workplace examples to illuminate concepts. This condensed but material-packed class enriches your knowledge and ability to create and deliver professional-looking presentations while sharpening your competitive advantage.
Soft Skills Coach
I’m a CPA and seasoned career business analyst, applications developer, and project management professional with 25 years of progressive experience. Over my career, I’ve moved between employee and consulting roles providing a unique dual-sided perspective. I understand what it’s like to be an employee who wants to maximize their contribution and advance, as well as, a consultant who must be adept at engendering customer value using tools and experience. Today as an IT professional, I continue to competently use a variety of tools to promote customer value. However, technical skills are not enough; My career exposure has taught me a myriad of soft skills to effectively manage projects, facilitate meetings, present information, communicate verbally/in-writing, and lead teams of professionals. I now want to share my knowledge and experience with other professionals who seek to fortify their skills and sharpen their competitive advantage.
