How to avoid death by Powerpoint
- the curse of Bill Gates

2010 dates coming soon

We have all sat through PowerPoint presentations that are scary – really scary, but for all the wrong reasons. Professional presenters call this ‘death by PowerPoint’

Microsoft’s PowerPoint program has been the biggest blessing or the biggest curse depending on how it is used. Most people use it badly (including Bill Gates - see above) Too much information, words flying in from all directions, transitions that seem to be used purely for the amusement of the presenter and worst of all – using the slides as crib notes.

There are so many positive aspects to Powerpoint – it is a very powerful visual aid. However, for many presenters it is becomes the focal point for the presentation with the audience having switched off ages ago.

So can all this be avoided? Come along to this half day workshop and learn how to avoid ‘death by PowerPoint’ During the workshop you will learn:

How to create your own PowerPoint template
How to choose the most appropriate type face
How to lay out your slides

How to use the office assistant to guide you
