Learning Objective

  • To identify the most useful slide transitions and animations for business presentations.
  • To use the morph transition to draw the audience’s attention.
  • To create a “zoom” summary slide to jump to user-selected sections of slides.
  • To analyze how to animate charts to highlight key points.
  • To embed a Microsoft Excel table in a PowerPoint slide.
  • To create a video with commentary of their PowerPoint presentation.

Course Overview

Microsoft PowerPoint has been around for nearly 35 years, and I am sure you are familiar with it and have experienced many PowerPoint presentations – some good; many extremely tedious!

Creating a business presentation in PowerPoint presents several challenges and there is a danger of “death by PowerPoint”. The speaker of this webinar recently attended a meeting which was supposed to be a planning discussion but which the person leading the meeting insisted on introducing with a PowerPoint presentation of 60 slides – mostly bullet points! He was hardly in the mood for action planning after that assault on his senses. 

PowerPoint is good for presenting business results or for a training course, but you need to plan your slideshow carefully to avoid bullet-point boredom and to keep your audience engaged and interested. Less is more in a slide show so it is important to use techniques and effects which will help engage your audience and draw their attention to the points that matter.

The purpose of this Online CPE computer software and application course is to teach you PowerPoint techniques that you may not be familiar with, and which will help you improve the impact of your business presentations.

The speaker Ross Maynard in this CPE/CPD webinar will cover six key topics that will help you produce more impactful business presentations:

  1. The best slide transitions and animations for business presentations
  2. The morph transition to make the narration of an agenda, or similar list, or a team photograph extremely slick and professional
  3. The Zoom effect to create a summary slide with hyperlinks to zoom into the section that you or your audience choose
  4. How to animate charts to highlight the key points you want to bring out
  5. How to embed Excel tables with slicers into PowerPoint, and why PowerPoint is not developed enough to make this useful for a business presentation
  6. How to turn your PowerPoint presentation into a video. This is the technique I am most often asked how to do.

Class was enjoyable - and a pleasant surprise. It addressed PowerPoint capabilities that I wasn't familiar with and can truly make a high impact presentation. Important to realize that this more of an exposure presentation and will require (as stated) working with the software to really be able to exploit the features addressed.
