A 2-day, 14 PDU (1.4 CEU) instructor-led Program
As a project manager, you must present to, converse with, and convince a variety of audiences every day. This program teaches you how to develop, design, and deliver a results-oriented presentation. First, you will save time and energy as you learn how to develop a talk based on an objective. You will then use a specific format (for example, recommend a strategy, convince people of a problem, update a project), to organize the content logically. Second, you will design your slides according to certain guidelines that teach you how to get your message across on the slide without inundating your audience with unnecessary information. Finally, you will practice delivering a real work presentation and discover how to use your unique personal style to keep your audience's attention.
The program features special advice on the use of PowerPoint slides to enhance presentations. The instructor also critiques each participant's slides. The instructor discusses the benefits and perils of using the latest presentation technology.
Materials for this workshop include a program workbook and two books: Point,
