How To Use Powerpoint For Training
Whether you think of it as an adage or a cliché, few expressions capture the essence of PowerPoint more than, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” PowerPoint has been part of our business culture since 1990. For training professionals, it’s a key component of most instructor-led and virtual training sessions.
Over the past 25 years it’s become a workhorse for training professionals, and whether you love it or disdain it, PowerPoint is an indispensible business tool. And yet, it is a business tool that is probably the most misused and misunderstood.
When misused, a poorly executed PowerPoint diminishes the effectiveness of your training. It sends a message to training attendees that this trainer is not on top of her game. That she is not dynamic, doesn’t know the material and has to rely on the “slides” for notes.
This misuse is so common that it’s become part of the corporate vernacular: Death by PowerPoint. Too much text, using the “slides” to tell the story instead of supporting it and choosing fonts that are difficult to read. Major mistakes,but mistakes that are easily fixed.
The message that a poorly constructed PowerPoint presentation sends to training attendees is that this trainer is not on top of her game.
TrainSmart’s Discovering The Power of PowerPoint teaches you how to use this tool to enhance, engage and enthrall your audience. Through these proven techniques, you will create presentations that are focused and memorable.
