The aim
To help individuals structure and deliver effective presentations: and avoid death by PowerPoint.
About this video resource
We’ve all sat through presentations that have left us shell-shocked, bored or baffled. A poorly delivered presentation can leave us feeling confused, and the presenter feeling dejected. A well thought through presentation can fill the presenter with confidence that they’ve got the message across in an interesting and engaging way.
Alan (Matthew Horne) is an old hand at presentations. He’s given more than he cares to mention: and more than his audiences care to remember! Cue Christine (Sally Philips) to help him reflect on his less glorious efforts and help him think through his preparation, structure and style to ensure that everyone leaves his presentations understanding what he was trying to tell them.
This humorous programme looks at the fundamentals of good presentation skills: structure, slides and delivery.
