PowerPoint All the Way
(Beginning to Intermediate in a Day
with some Advanced Topics)

To Be Scheduled
Classes are Small - Not for Beginners

Thanks for another SUPER informative and energetic
workshop. Even though I’ve participated in three different
training sessions, each time I’ve left with valuable
information and useful skills!! As before, this was an
AWESOME training experience!!

Dr. Marcia Riley, EA Incorporated

Peggy does a great job in this workshop.
She has a great deal of knowledge and takes time to
explain until the light comes on. She is great, full of energy,
lively, and a great teacher and master in all categories!

Pam Culbreath, Georgia Power Company 

It’s easy to get started with PowerPoint if all you want to do is use a built-in template, type a few bullets, and show up looking like everyone else. But if you want to create a powerful, memorable message and save time doing it, you’ll have to dig deeper.

Why This Training is Important
You're probably already using PowerPoint and are like most people and not taking advantage of its full power. Learn how to do it right so you'll have more time to spend on developing better content and making the sale.

What You Will Do During This Training
Learn from the beginning how to choose a theme, create a template, and design and build a PowerPoint presentation that's professional. Design a theme, manipulate images, and create simple animations, bullet builds, and transitions.

We stick to teaching you about the features you'll use the most to get the best job done in a busy, business environment.

Class Outline

  • Design and create templates for your master slide, title slide, and handouts.
  • Change bullet shapes, colors, and animation to match your design and messages.
  • Create charts and graphs from scratch or import from Excel.
  • Create action buttons and hyperlinks that make navigation a breeze!
  • Insert pictures and add borders and shadows that give them zing!

What You Will Need

  • A laptop - ours or yours. Most students prefer to work on their own laptop and that's great. You should also bring an external mouse and mouse pad. PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 must be loaded on laptop.

    If you don't have a laptop or access to one, you must let us know in advance so one of ours can be assigned to you.

  • Ability to be away from your cell phone during class. You can only turn on phones during breaks and lunch. This is the only way you can respect your trainer, stay focused and not ask questions that have already been answered, and not distract your fellow students.

Who is This Training For?
This training is for the computer savvy
.
You should already be somewhat familiar with PowerPoint before taking this class. If you haven't used it before, go ahead and start playing with it before class.

Your Trainer

Her expertise has been cited in Fortune Small Business, O-The Oprah Magazine, Real Simple, Essence, Fitness, Self, Men’s Health, Black Enterprise, Entrepreneur, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and a whole lot more.

Very meaningful and timely. You are so gifted ...
You take the complex and make it simple.
