Microsoft PowerPoint is the most popular tool for presentations in the workplace, so using it effectively is a crucial skill for any business professional. In this course, you’ll learn design principles and how to customize themes to help you capture and retain the attention of your audience. Our PowerPoint expert Kathy Snizaski will also show you how to make your slides more readable using formatting tools and customizing tabs and spacing. Do you need to illustrate data? You can create a chart right in PowerPoint or import data from Excel and graph it on a slide.
Pictures and other graphics are always important in a presentation, and you’ll learn how to customize and animate many types of graphics, including SmartArt, text boxes, and shapes. And if you need to collaborate, you’ll learn how to use comments effectively to exchange ideas about the presentation. You’ll be amazed at all the tools available to create and customize interesting and informative presentations.

Trainer and Facilitator
I am the owner, trainer, and facilitator of interactive business Training. My company provides corporate training for businesses or individuals and we are also a Microsoft partnership. My professional passion is staff development. Training is my ‘chocolate’. I have a gift for being able to learn a topic (most of the time technical) and break it down in a way that adults can not only understand but are able to apply to their jobs to become more efficient and productive.
