High-impact presentations with PowerPoint
Word and Excel have precise outputs. You know when the document or report is complete. PowerPoint has no endpoint. People spend hours (even years) refining their presentations and still – the outcome is poor!
The majority of presentations are boring and longer than necessary. In this section, we will see how to be part of the minority – and that too without spending too much effort.
Each presentation has a purpose. The purpose could be selling, teaching, convincing, explaining, discussing, brainstorming, reviewing, and so on. The idea is to present your "point" with "power" to achieve the purpose. Always keep this in mind.
People praising your presentation is not enough; it should also achieve the purpose with minimal effort.
Note
Make sure you have the Microsoft 365 version of PowerPoint installed on the desktop PC. Many options in this section will not work with the browser or desktop-only...
