Microsoft PowerPoint Basics: An Introduction to Creating Engaging and Powerful Presentations

Duration: 90 minutes

Recorded on June 28, 2016 at 1pm ET

If you’ve been blown away by a presentation with fantastic PowerPoint slides OR if you’ve ever stared blankly at a terrible plain white slide with far too much type, you know that Microsoft PowerPoint can do both harm and good.

A poorly crafted PowerPoint presentation is the quickest way to devalue your message—and no matter how genius your spoken presentation is, the overall impression on the audience is bleh.

But a dynamic, carefully put together slide deck can immediately elevate your presentation, tell the audience that that you’re dedicated and well prepared, and add a layer of polish to your performance that only great visual aids bring.

If you’ve considered creating slides to go along with your presentations, or if you use PowerPoint now but feel you could be using it better, we invite you to join us for this introductory class.

Microsoft Expert Mitizi Katz will explain the basic tools and functions in PowerPoint. And she’ll show you what to do--- and what NOT to do—to create a presentations that WOW instead of ZZZZzzzz.
