❄️ Are your presentations as pretty as a snowy picture?! ❄️ This (in my photo) was the scene driving into the conference centre where I delivered training this week. Very pretty. ❄️ Slide content within a presentation should be equally pleasing to the eye, so as to 'glide' people on a scenic trip through the presentation. ❄️ If your slides are ugly, cluttered, overloaded with text, tiny diagrams, complex excel spreadsheets, tons of jargon, and too many slides, your presentation ends up in the slush!...... You get the idea. ❄️ Make your slides pretty as a picture. They should purely highlight key messages, raise understanding quickly, and add impact. ❄️ If you need help with this, get in touch and I can point you in the right direction and send you on a sleigh ride of prettiness 💫❄️💫 #presentations #slide #design #powerpoint #visualcommunication

This is what your audience won't be thinking during your next presentation: 🗯️ "Wow, 64 PowerPoint slides already! I really hope there are more to come". 🗯️ "It's great that he speaks so quietly - at least he won't wake me up!" 🗯️ "I'm glad she went off topic. I was really curious about her cat." 🗯️ "Finally, a presentation without any structure! Who needs structure?" 🗯️ "Oh look, 90s clipart! Those were the good times!" 🗯️ "I love the way he reads each slide word for word. I don't have to think!" You'll do better next time... won't you 😀 ? #PublicSpeaking #PresentationFail #FreeYourVoice

Well-designed visual aids should support and enhance your presentation, not add to your stress. Do nerves cause you to lean too much on your slides? Let’s work together to ensure your visual aids support, not overwhelm, your presentation. #PowerPointTips #PresentationSkills #OvercomeNerves #VisualAids #ConfidentPresenting
