Speaking Science® Seminars

Speaking Science® with PowerPoint®
Five tips for creating more effective slides for your next presentation.

When PowerPoint slides are designed well, they can enhance a speaker’s message. Done poorly, however, good work and the message can both be lost.

In this one-hour seminar, you will learn five basic ideas that you can use immediately to prepare clear, to-the-point slides that showcase your data and help get your message across during your next presentation.

You will learn how to transform your slides by:

• Converting them from a series of presenter’s notes to effective visuals.
• Removing visual clutter to effectively communicate technically heavy information and emphasize your main points.
• Replacing dull and uninteresting bullet points with something your audience wants to pay attention to.

In this one-hour seminar, you will learn a series of practical and sometimes unorthodox approaches that speak with your audience in mind. These approaches will help you prepare and deliver a presentation with a clear message.

You will learn how to be a more effective presenter by:

• Organizing and visualizing the details and nuances of your work to help create the content for your presentation.
• Applying the Coffee Talk Method to understand how your takeaways and supporting points are heard by your audience.
• Using simple techniques of non-verbal communication that enhance your credibility and instill your audience’s confidence in you.

• Grabbing your audience’s attention right away and keeping it
