I’m sure we have all created a PowerPoint presentation before. But what if I told you that in today’s world where every second person is a technology whizz, templates and standard animations just don’t stick anymore. You need to think outside the box and focus on being creative and engaging.

3. Here are my five tips for breaking through the
norm:
1. Templates
FORGET TEMPLATES And if I could bold that text twice I would. It
is so easy to choose a template, add a heading, a couple of
pictures and graphs and boom there it is – a PowerPoint. But if you
really want to get your message across you will need to do more
than just the usual.
Get creative and use different shapes to display your information,
try different sized fonts and headings. This will make your
presentation look more professional and add a personal touch.

4. 2. Show, don’t tell
A picture speaks a thousand words. Instead of having bullet points on
every slide, ask yourself whether you can use a picture to get your
message across instead. A background picture with just a couple of
words helps to visualise the information and create a greater impact.
3. Interactive tools
One of the best ways to keep your audience interested is to interact
with them. Good webinar platforms will allow you to use polls and
surveys throughout your presentation which lets you break up the
dialogue, get live feedback and start a discussion.
If you are thinking about using interactive tools make sure you insert a
blank slide into your presentation as this makes for a clean
background and prompts both you and the facilitator.

5. 4. Add colour
The world looks better in colour. Play around with different
background and font colours, and use icons instead of
words to display your main talking points. A good website to
check out is: http://www.flaticon.com
5. Canva
This is one of my favourite tools for creating presentations.
This website has thousands of free templates and editing
options to help you create whatever you want. Check it
