Episode description

Alan Natachu joins us for a conversation on everyone’s favourite topic… Powerpoint! It is the most common tool used by training professionals. Everyone knows how to use powerpoint, right? Maybe not. Even if you’ve had a little design training in your career you may still be breaking some of the most basic presentation design rules. We’ve got 7 basic, and practical, design tips that anyone can use. These tips may not guarantee acceptance to present at TED, but you’ll very quickly see how much they will improve the instructional effectiveness of your training.
