Workshop objectives

You are fed up with creating slides: it takes too long, you waste time on formatting and you lack screen space for your ideas. Moreover, you get the feeling that your slides do not always excite your audience. By the end of this training, you can create slides in less than 10 minutes that make you stand out, e.g. for a conference, an internal meeting, your thesis defense etc.

Content

In the theoretical part of the training, you will learn techniques for structuring complex information logically and for designing easy-to-understand slides and storylines quickly and efficiently. In the practical part, you will then apply these techniques and produce slides and stories for your own work. Ultimately, you will gain a complete draft of your own next presentation.

Methods

Practical exercises with your own slides and stories make up more than 60% of this training. There will be a 1:1 coaching session with the trainer after the training.
