How we’ve trained internal teams to dramatically improve their virtual presentations
If you are reading this blog, you can likely empathize with both creating and sitting in presentations. And if you are reading this blog in 2020, you have undoubtedly sat through a dizzying number of virtual presentations.
We were recently asked to help a large internal marketing team to up their game when it came to presentations. Enter our crack design team.
Much like the design shows on HGTV that makeover a room in less than a day, we raised the grade level proficiency of the team’s presentation skills in 90 minutes.
We did this by focusing on 3 things:
Let’s dig a little deeper into each of these.
What are the fundamental elements for improving virtual presentations?
You’d be amazed at how nailing the fundamentals—things like hierarchy, alignment, and consistency—can make a huge difference in the professionalism of your PowerPoint.
How does storytelling improve presentation impact and audience retention?
Then, with a rock-solid foundation of fundamentals, flavor can begin to develop through storytelling. Most authors don’t consider a story arc. Many forget that audiences can’t retain the vast majority of what they read or hear during a presentation. We helped the team think about the flow of their presentation and where visuals can help heighten impact.
How can teams create visual impact and 'wow' moments in presentations?
Teams can create visual impact and 'wow' moments in presentations by focusing on a few choice moments of visual impact, utilizing tips and tricks from design professionals. We coached the team on how to achieve this, enabling amateur, non-designer folks to create beautiful and impactful slides. While we can't teach your team to be designers in under two hours, we can help them elevate their presentation game, especially in a 'Zoom world.' We've also helped hundreds of companies develop beautiful PowerPoint templates, and our engaging, hands-on presentation on presentations is a proven winner.

And once you have a great template, our engaging, hands-on presentation on presentations is a winner!
