Discover how to create full-screen images for your slides using almost ANY photo you already have. Instead of wasting time searching for the perfect image, use these Photoshop magic tricks inside of PowerPoint to create it instead. This makes for great title slides, divider slides, and content slides.

Inside this workshop, you will learn how to:

1. Extend your image backgrounds without warping your images

3. Raise the Roof to extend seemingly impossible images for your slides
4. Learn what you can and cannot do inside of PowerPoint (so you do not waste your time)
5. Learn useful tricks for getting the most out of your imagery in PowerPoint

Do you think change management has been changed by the Covid crisis?

A lot of organisations made rapid changes to their operating models, moving staff to work from home and moving services online. They did all this without establishing formal programmes of change, and creating planning documents.

The emphasis was on swift decision making and getting things done. As a result, is it time to exploit the abilities that leaders have shown for navigating change, and democratise change management responsibilities away from a small group of experts to the wider leadership pool?

If leaders are to become change leaders, we must first establish the value of change management. Unless this skill set is seen as aspirational, why would leaders want to invest in this area of their development?

In this webinar, presenter Melanie Franklin  Chief Examiner for the Agile Change Agent certification, Co-Lead of the Change Management Institute UK, Director of Agile Change Management Ltd and Founder of the Continuous Change Community, a respected author of text books and articles on Agile Change; will summarise where she thinks the change management profession is after a tumultuous year, summarise what she things the value of change management is and how we create a “pull” mechanism that brings leaders willingly into our world. At each step of her presentation you will be invited to share your thoughts and vote on the priority of her ideas.

Presenter: Melanie Franklin, (LinkedIn profile, @AgileMelanie) has a track record of excellence in project, programme and portfolio planning & delivery. She has set up and run the project management capability for several major corporates and has been responsible for the successful delivery of global transformational change programmes for over twenty years. Co-chair of the Change Management Institute in the UK, Melanie is a ‘Master’ level change practitioner and author of many books on change and project management including Managing Business Transformation: A Practical Guide; Agile Change Management: A Practical Framework for Successful Change Planning and Implementation.  and her newest book Communicating Change: How to control your own change initiative.
