Presentation Design & Delivery

OVERVIEW

Modern business relies on accurate and timely information. However, business managers and other professionals have very little time to read all the information they receive. It is therefore essential to ensure that important information is written clearly and concisely, which makes it easy to read and understand without spending too much valuable time doing so. By helping you build exceptional introductions, coherent content, and climactic closings, the course will have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the speeches and presentations you deliver, regardless of topic, audience, or media used. This practical course is designed for participants to learn how to write letters, e-mails, memorandums, minutes, reports, and other business documents that are comprehensive, concise, informative, and professional.

Further, participants will also learn to design eye-catching, dynamic PowerPoint slides that will complement their manager’s presentation. Step-by-step how to create presentations from start to finish including the setting up of charts, slides, graphs, and effects will all be demonstrated using advanced features.
