Sitting through PowerPoint presentations is considered one of the banes of corporate life. Yet presentation software isn’t about to go away because there’s no substitute for its ability to focus attention, mix media and deliver a multi-sensory experience that accords with various people’s learning styles. That’s provided PowerPoint is used properly. Executives such as Apple founder Steve Jobs and environmental activist Al Gore have raised the PowerPoint presentation to an art form. The good news is that far less exalted and highly-produced PowerPoint presentations can be extremely effective for everyday executives, if they learn the presentation skills that are so often overlooked by even the most experienced corporate leaders.

This day-long seminar -- presented by Mike Consol of MikeConsol.com -- teaches executive-level PowerPoint and general presentation skills. It emphasizes taking command of a room, connecting with one’s audience and conveying ideas through visual thinking, rather than slides heavy with text and bullet points. It also teaches how to best display those ideas in a well organized PowerPoint deck. Training is presented in an interactive format, with examples and vigorous discussion from start to finish.

The program is designed for businesspeople who want to enhance their authority, prestige and persuasion skills by learning more effective presentation techniques, particularly while using PowerPoint or other presentation software programs. It is best – though not mandatory – for students to already know how to assemble a very basic PowerPoint deck.
