What good does it do participants when the trainer shows he/she can do it?

The real measure of impact if whether the lesson is caught and applied by the audience. Breakout rooms are a tool to help you facilitate peer learning and make your job as trainer easier.

A favorite rule of thumb at BPG is never do for participants what they can do for themselves. The more active they are in their learning, the more they remember and ultimately apply.

You will:

• Discover when to use breakout rooms and how to do it effectively
• Discuss common objections from presenters and participants—and how to overcome them
• Explore how you can add a variety of exercises to keep breakout rooms engaging

There are many ways to wreck a PowerPoint slide. Behold these before-and-after gems from some of the worst train wrecks we’ve ever seen.

At the Presentation Summit, a gathering of some of the most passionate and vested presentation professionals in the world, guess how many of the attendees consider themselves professional designers. We know because we asked: less than 30%. Out in the world, where 65 million PowerPoint presentations are created each day, the percentage drops to around 5%. And yet, we are asked to design presentations every single day. No wonder “Death by PowerPoint” is in everyone’s vocabulary.

This session will not show you how to become a brilliant designer; that is an affront to the people who really are. More important, this session will help you get by with the skills that you do have, by showing you makeovers of slides that do not require a degree in the arts, and in fact were performed by a member of that massive majority not possessing one.

These are before-and-after examples of real slides, created by real people, for real circumstances. They carry the hope that you will watch them and think to yourself, “Hey, I can do that, too.”

• When and how to illustrate a slide
• How best to utilize white space
• Using transparent shapes—best problem solver ever
• When to animate and when not to
• Decluttering and deuglifying

Presenter:Rick Altman (LinkedIn profile) Graphic Design GURU covers the whole of the content and delivery industry, from message crafting, through presentation design, slide creation, software technique, and delivery. Host of the Presentation Summit, now in its 16th season Rick regularly leads private presentation skills development workshops within organizations and is working on has released the 4th edition of the popular  Why Most PowerPoint Presentations Suck, and how you can make them better.

Virtual classrooms are here to stay, but there’s a huge difference between ‘watch and listen’ and engaging in learning together.

At the cutting edge of workshop design, we’re driving engagement from the front. We’re using strategies like co-creation, collaboration and storytelling, and using tools, apps, and virtual sharing spaces that are making a massive difference in how people learn at distance.

PowerPoint, some people shudder at its name. If you are someone who does that, I would challenge you to take a closer look at this incredibly powerful tool.

In the hands of someone who understands basic design principles, not only will a PowerPoint presentation keep your audience engaged, but it also leaves a lasting impact. And isn’t that the goal? Whether you want to make a sale, teach a subject, or just share information, the whole point is to make your presentation memorable.

In this webinar Cindy Tingley, CPS (LinkedIn profile) says it is time to stop making presentations that fit the “we’ve always done it this way” mold and thinking of PowerPoint as a tool that generates awful, boring slides. The tool never creates anything on its own.

In this webinar, you will get a chance to see five PowerPoint myths busted. Eliminating these bad design practices will immediately improve the impact your presentation has on its audience.
