Powerpoint Coaching

Staggering PowerPoint Statistics

The BBC claims 500 million people use the PowerPoint program worldwide and those users create 30 million presentations daily. While PowerPoint may be the universal language for presenters, all too often the sight of a slide deck evokes a negative first impression from your audience. Why is this a common concern? Because the BBC also states that the average slide contains 40 words. That’s 40 words too many.

You’re the Point – Not PowerPoint

PowerPoint extraordinaire, Steven Koslyn, says, “The PowerPoint program is like the weather, everyone complains about it but no one does anything about it.” The Communication Center wants to help turn your wordy, modest slides into visual aids that make a statement.

Our PowerPoint coaching sessions are developed for either the actual presenter or the slide design team. The course may cover the general skills of presentation, delivery and design principles or target one presentation to edit and improve. During the course, you’ll discuss the challenges – both internal and external – of moving away from PowerPoint slides with too much text and complicated data. Our before and after examples from your own organization’s slides will inspire you as communicators and give you practical tips for how to deliver more compelling presentations with dynamic visuals.

Make it an Interactive Workshop

TCC values practical training that allows you to walk away with new skills to immediately apply to your professional career. Our PowerPoint workshops are tailored for small groups of four to ten and begin with an introduction of slide concepts and best practices.

Our PowerPoint design team shows before and after ideas for your organization’s current slides, then gives your team time to work on designing their own slides. Facilitated by our PowerPoint specialists, your team leverages new strategies to design more creative, intriguing and memorable slides.
