This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It discusses engaging the audience by focusing on the key message at the beginning and end. Slides should use bullet points and short phrases rather than full sentences. Font styles and sizes should be limited for readability. Videos and images can enhance the message but should not distract. Rehearsal is important to test timing and technology in the actual venue. The presenter should practice public speaking skills without relying on slides and use slides sparingly to highlight key points.

Slides I prepared for a training session with Political Economy students in 2005.
Quick facts:
- This was the first presentation I made using Keynote 2 (yes, the irony of using Keynote to teach people to use Powerpoint is not lost on me).
- The actual presentation used plenty of animations (cube in/cube out effects, etc.). This was when I was fond of using complex animations to "wow" the audience. Now, I prefer simple animations, sometimes even just slide transitions.
- This was the first presentation I made incorporating live hyperlinks from slide to slide.
- The idea for the layout was borrowed from the demo presentation accompanying iWork. I would use the navigation bar template as my "default" template in future presentations.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Building Your Employer Brand with Social MediaLuanWise
Presented at The Global HR Summit, 6th June 2024
In this keynote, Luan Wise will provide invaluable insights to elevate your employer brand on social media platforms including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok. You'll learn how compelling content can authentically showcase your company culture, values, and employee experiences to support your talent acquisition and retention objectives. Additionally, you'll understand the power of employee advocacy to amplify reach and engagement – helping to position your organization as an employer of choice in today's competitive talent landscape.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Effective use of powerpoint
1.
2. ENGAGE YOUR AUDIENCE, MAKE YOUR POINT
• Your presentation is over and people are walking out of the
room. What do you want them to be thinking about? Make
sure you say that first and last.
• You're the one telling the story, not the slides. Look at every
element on each slide as a graphic--text and images alike.
Avoid complete sentences: use bullet-point lists of single
words and short phrases.
3. BASICS OF SLIDE CONSTRUCTION
• Remember the contrast: dark on light, light on dark.
Stick with two or three font styles and sizes, none
too small for people in the back row to read. No
italics, no serifs, and no blinking--ever. Use drop
shadows and other text effects sparingly.
4. BASICS OF SLIDE CONSTRUCTION
• Play it safe by embedding everything in your
presentation: fonts, images, other graphics. This will
increase the size of the presentation file, but today's
hardware should handle it. Besides, 16GB USB flash
drives cost less than $20. (See below for instructions on
compressing embedded videos and other graphics in
PowerPoint 2010.)
5. BASICS OF SLIDE CONSTRUCTION
• Keep diagrams simple. If a chart or table has more than a
dozen elements, break it up or consider printing it and
distributing it as a handout or posting it online.
• Timing is everything--keep a brisk pace, but not too brisk. The
key to maintaining the right pace is practice, practice, practice.
Avoid slide fatigue by averaging two or three slides per minute
at most.
6. USE VIDEO AND IMAGES THAT ENHANCE YOUR
MESSAGE
• One of the maxims of show business is show, don't tell.
Images--whether still or moving--capture an audience's
attention and can add impact to any presentation. But
they can also serve as a distraction, diverting people's
attention away from the points you're trying to make.
7. USE VIDEO AND IMAGES THAT ENHANCE YOUR
MESSAGE
• PowerPoint 2010 adds new features for editing images and video.
Two of my favorites make it easy to remove the background from
photographs and to compress embedded images and videos.
Unfortunately, you can't insert a link to video on a Web site in the 64-
bit version of Microsoft Office, as is explained on the Microsoft
Answers forum. You have to download the file and embed it in the
presentation.
8. USE VIDEO AND IMAGES THAT ENHANCE YOUR
MESSAGE
• Cropping the background out of a picture is almost automatic
when you use PowerPoint 2010's aptly named Remove
Background feature. Simply select the image, choose the
Format tab under Picture Tools on the ribbon, and click
Remove Background in the Adjust section to the far left.
9. USE VIDEO AND IMAGES THAT ENHANCE YOUR
MESSAGE
• You'll probably have to manually tweak the background crop
by dragging the borders of the portion of the image
PowerPoint selects for you, and by using the Mark Areas to
Keep and Mark Areas to Remove buttons. The feature can't
match the precision of Adobe Photoshop and other image
editors, but for most presentations, it does well enough
10.
11. TURN THE POINTER OFF
• During a presentation, it is very annoying to have the pointer
(the little arrow) come on the screen while the presenter is
speaking. It causes movement on the screen and draws the
audience attention from the presenter to the screen. The
pointer comes on when the mouse is moved during the
presentation. To prevent this from happening, after the Slide
Show view has started, press the Ctrl-H key combination.
12. TURN THE POINTER OFF
• This prevents mouse movement from showing the pointer. If
you need to bring the pointer on screen after this, press the A
key. If the pointer does appear during your presentation, resist
the urge to press the Escape key – if you do, it will stop the
presentation and drop you back into the program. Press the A
key or Ctrl-H to make the pointer disappear.
13. DON'T FORGET THE DRESS REHEARSAL
• Even if the presentation runs without a hitch back at the
office or in the hotel room, always test it beforehand at
the actual venue on the hardware you'll use to present
it. Think about the people sitting in the back row--and
the front row and on either side of the room, for that
matter.
14. DON'T FORGET THE DRESS REHEARSAL
• Sometimes the most thorough preparations won't
prevent disaster. Always have a backup plan in
mind if the presentation goes belly up. You may
actually have to make eye contact with the
audience. This is when your rehearsals in front of
the mirror will pay off.
15. SOME MORE TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE AN EFFECTIVE
PPT.
• Learn how to give a good speech without
PowerPoint. This takes practice, which means
giving speeches without PowerPoint. Believe it or
not, public speaking existed before PowerPoint,
and many people remember it as being a lot better
then than it is now.
16. SOME MORE TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE AN EFFECTIVE
PPT.
• A few people use presentation software in extremely effective
ways—Steve Jobs and Stanford Law Professor Lawrence
Lessig are two examples. Al Gore’s use of Keynote in the
movie ―An Inconvenient Truth‖ was a good model. But these
three examples don’t look at all like the way most people use
PowerPoint. Avoiding bad PowerPoint habits means, first and
foremost, becoming a good public speaker.
17. SOME MORE TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE AN EFFECTIVE
PPT.
• Don’t ―cue‖ the audience that listening to your speech means getting
through your PowerPoint presentation. If the audience sees that your
PowerPoint presentation is the structure of your speech, they’ll start
wondering how many slides are left. Slides should be used
asynchronously within your speech, and only to highlight or illustrate
things. Audiences are bored with oral presentations that go from one
slide to the next until the end. Engage the audience, and use slides
only when they are useful.
18. SOME MORE TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE AN EFFECTIVE
PPT.
• Concentrate on keeping the audience focused on
you, not on the screen. You can do this by using
slides sparingly, standing in front of the audience in
a way that makes them look at you, and, if possible,
going to the screen and using your hand or arm to
point out things on a slide.
19. SOME MORE TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE AN EFFECTIVE
PPT.
• If you expect to be using PowerPoint a lot, invest in
a remote ―clicker‖ that lets you get away from the
computer and still drive your presentation. If you
don’t have one of those, it’s better to ask someone
to run the presentation than to be behind a screen
and keyboard while you talk.
