If Dogs Could Talk: "Simple, Yet Powerful Techniques to Graphically Empower Your Training Presentations"

Competency: Instructional Design / Presentation Design

Objective: By the end of this meeting, you will learn how to create graphic images (by practicing little known, simple, yet powerful techniques anyone can learn and use) to enhance learning and engagement, and to produce much more impactful presentations.

We’ve all experienced “Death by PowerPoint” where we are bombarded with bullets points, followed by bullet points, and even more bullet points, and each new slide looks exactly like the same. Sure, we try to change it up a bit by adding clip art and stock photos, but most of those look like we’ve seen them somewhere before. They usually don't have relevance to the learner or the company culture. They are "boiler plate."

• What if there was a cost effective, creative way to produce unique graphics, backgrounds, and photos to enhance your ability to connect with audiences much more effectively? 
• What if you could do this without having to buy anything using three simple tools we already have?
• Any what if you could quickly learn to use these tools you already have to make amazingly effective, customized, original, and relevant images to use in innovative new ways?
  

Answer: "That would be great, if I can."

Well, YOU CAN! You'll do it in this session.

Key Takeaways:

• Release your inner artist (even if you don’t think you have one) to easily create low-tech graphics that produce high-end results
  
• Make your smart phone even smarter while harnessing your power of observation
• Overcome the limitations of PowerPoint to achieve fun and dynamic results
• Harness “The Power of the Pen”

Come to this session and learn how to eliminate “Death by PowerPoint.” Discover new and cost-effective ways to make your presentations relevant, impactful, and unique to you.

You're invited. Join us!
