Description:

If you have to sell anything as part of your job -- a product, a project, an idea, a service, and we all do in some way-- you know how the right presentation can make a project or an idea go forward and the wrong one can kill it. These are crucial presentations. And despite what's at stake -a promotion, raising money, getting new business, peer recognition- most times we do it incredibly badly by crafting lengthy, boring PowerPoints.

The success of presentations depends on the process you use to develop them, on figuring out how to keep your audience's attention and not on how hard you try. The better you are at engaging your audience the more successful you will be. PowerPoint Slide Design for Crucial Presentations Udemy
