There’s much research that shows people remember more from training when visuals are used. Yet you, and everyone else, always experience bullet point hell in most courses.

This session looks at three ways to improve your slides visually and get away from Death by PowerPoint and click-through eLearning, so that your content can become more visual, using the right diagram to illustrate and bring your points to life.

That means your audience start paying attention, and understand what you want to tell them, even when it’s pretty complicated. Which means that your training is more effective.

1. Design to Impress
   • principles from graphic design for better layout and more engaging content.
2. Visualization Process
   • a detailed process to transform text-heavy content into compelling visuals, looking at the key ideas, visual frameworks, and how animations can bring the story to life.
3. Interactive Visuals 
   • how to create visual slides that encourage interactivity and get people actively participating.

There’s also a handy guide to help you create great visuals every time you need to.

Plus, once you’ve got your visual ideas, you can also get a free PowerPoint toolkit to kick start your efforts and a series of PowerPoint tutorial videos to bring all your visuals to life.

Presenter: Richard Goring (LinkedIn profile) Director at BrightCarbon, (a specialist presentation agency). has helped to write and create thousands of presentations, and coached hundreds of teams to present more effectively using visuals, diagrams, and animated sequences that explain and reinforce the key points. Richard is passionate about improving the way that people present and believes that anyone can deliver a great presentation if given the right techniques and a bit of practice.

Much research and many popular books have been directed toward understanding the pursuit and achievement of mastery.

A common understanding has emerged that mastery is more directly dependent upon the amount of time devoted toward deliberate practice.

In mature skill areas, mastery can require 10,000 hours or more of deliberate practice.  An organization or team filled with members who are committed toward achieving mastery is both desirable and elusive regardless of the industry or field.

The key to achievement of mastery on an organizational or team level is individual motivation.  Historically, most motivational research and advice has focused on extrinsic motivation.

Recently, research has focused more and more on the power of intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsically motivating teams can seem complicated and even contradictory.  However, understanding the practical sources of intrinsic motivation can help managers apply the principles to real-world situations and increase their team’s drive to achieve mastery.

Join David Kachoui (LinkedIn profile), Kimberly Johnson (LinkedIn profile), &  Brian Cohn (LinkedIn profile)  and discover the power of  Intrinsic Motivation.
