Staring at a blank slide, not knowing where to start? Wondering how to summarise a 20 page scope document in five slides? Sharon shares the tricks she learned as an award winning global keynote speaker.
Presentation Planning
Create the right content for your audience.
Concise, succinct, targeted.
It's known as death by PowerPoint for a reason. Too much content not targeted to the audience fails to grab the audience's attention. This session helps you organise and illustrate your thoughts and content into a concise pack, getting the right information to the right people in the right format.
Be known for creating the shortest, snappiest presentations.
No matter how beautiful your presentation looks, content is king. When time is short, and your audience has information overload, we need to keep presentations short and tailored to the audience. This course explains how to select and cull information and shows how to deliver PowerPoints that pack a punch.

I stumbled across Sharon on LinkedIn, all the way from Scotland! I have absolutely loved using her templates and expanding my skill set in PowerPoint, and it has been so well received in my organisation that there is a queue of people wanting to do the same with their work!

Sharon's courses and templates are outstanding - her online courses are fun and very 'two-way', and her templates offer insights and suggestions based on her significant skill and experience. If you haven't signed up to one of her courses yet, head on over and enrol - you won't regret it!
Eve Kok, Delivery Manager - Culture, Leadership & Learning at NAB
Sharon got me thinking about the best way to demonstrate Change Strategy, Change Impacts, Risks/Issues, etc. Much better than the standard blank templates as they give me ideas on how to engage my audience and present change management concepts
Don't get left behind. Sought after Change Managers have these skills.
Being able to produce stunning slides and being a confident presenter are essential pieces of the puzzle, but they are nothing without understanding how to tell the story and sell the idea in a well thought out presentation targeted to the audience. Do yourself and your audience a favour! Can I have a longer, more wordy presentation....said nobody, ever!
