Training Better Presentations: from design to delivery
When faced with the prospect of giving a presentation, researchers and analysts often simply convert their reports to slides: text is converted to bullets, and figures and tables are simply copied and pasted.The problem with that approach is that presentations are a fundamentally different form of communication than reports or journal articles. But with only a little more time, a little more effort, and a little more planning, you can communicate your work with force and clarity.
In this workshop, attendees are shown better ways to create, design, and deliver their presentations. They will learn essential strategies for developing clear, sophisticated, and visually captivating presentations. We discuss the conceptual underpinnings behind giving better presentations, and the tools and techniques to put them into practice. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own slide decks and presentation drafts to work through and improve.
Content
The first session will focus on the basics of better presentations, from creating to delivering. Attendees will be able to critique existing slide decks (or their own) and learn how to put concepts into practice.The second session will focus on specific lessons and tips in the Microsoft PowerPoint (Office 365) tool, as well as the hardware and software needs to delivering better virtual presentations and meetings. Time is reserved for specific questions and tasks to create better presentation slides.
