The Details

In this era of infinite content, cutting through clutter to provide a clear and engaging message sets you apart. However, the majority of slides in technical presentations fail to focus and engage the audience. Instead, the barrage of words and bullet points act as a barrier to the audience’s understanding and don’t support the presenter’s main point. In this dynamic course, workshop participants will walk away with better strategies for creating presentation slides. These strategies, backed by extensive cognitive science research, will transform how technical presenters think about their work and the message they have to share.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss strategies for designing slides that brings clarity to complex information

• Develop concise messages to support the main point on each slide

• Reduce the clutter on slides

• Direct the audience’s attention to meaning in data and other visuals

• Segment the content to share a digestible amount of information

In this virtual  workshop, participants learn the fundamentals of the assertion-evidence slide design method. After covering the principles, participants will complete exercises to revise a few of their own slides using these new strategies. Several people will share their revised slides with the group and receive feedback from the team.

Class Size: 12 - 15 participants 

Format: 2.5 hour virtual workshop
