Course description
Influencing with Visuals (Virtual)
Presentations are critical to selling your ideas and driving people to action, yet most fail to connect with their audience due to distracting visuals and poorly displayed data. When this happens, you’re almost guaranteed to lose your audience’s attention and, worse, your one shot to influence decisions.
Whether you’re working on a quarterly business review, a product update, or a customer pitch, you need a laser-focused approach that promotes your key points. But reality is, we leverage slides from colleagues and design presentations that may look pretty, but lack a cohesive narrative.
Influencing with Visuals teaches teams how to design presentations that organize information into visual messages that are easy to scan and therefore, memorable. Explore why a good slide works and a weak one fails. Not creative? No problem. With clever use of basic presentation design principles and PowerPoint shortcuts, we’ll show you how to think like a designer—without being one.
Since 2004, we’ve pushed the boundaries of virtual instructor-led training when clients like Apple, Facebook, and Cisco sought our help to build and deliver more engaging online presentations. We’re known for designing content that promotes a two-way dialogue, fosters interactivity, and generates real behavior change. Be prepared to stay engaged and take advantage of virtual features like polling, breakout rooms, whiteboarding, and chat. Reinforcement tools ensure continued application of the learning long after the workshop is complete.
Who should attend?
Virtual presentation design training is especially valuable to those who have geographically dispersed teams or prefer that training be split into short modules delivered over three days, rather than one.
Business professionals from any industry—typically individual contributors to manager/director level—who need to up level their ability to communicate ideas visually using presentation software, such as PowerPoint.

It was all great but my favorite parts were the shortcut tutorials on how to use the tools of PPT.
