Presentations

Guidelines

Here are a few tips that can help you create and use more powerful PowerPoint presentations:

• Tap into the right brain by using plenty of inspiring photos that provide visual appeal

• Minimize bullet points and keep text to a minimum

• Speak out your own words and do not read from the slides verbatim

• Writ the name of the workshop and your own name in the first slide

• Provide an outline slide at the beginning

• Provide a summary slide at the end

• Provide contact information at the very last slide

• Use the PowerPoint presentation as a complimentary tool to your workshop and do not make it constitute the bulk of the workshop
