Course Description
The majority of business communication happens with the use of presentations. Decks of PowerPoint and Keynote slides are used during most business meetings, they are employed to summarise key ideas in written communication and even replace Word documents as the form of choice for longer text pieces that include charts and graphics. In short, presentations are ubiquitous. Whether you still study, work in business or the public sector, or do research chances are you work with slide decks almost every day. If you are involved in creating any kind of slides used to convey information you will profit from taking this course.
Consultants of the top consulting firms are widely considered the masters of powerful presentations. The reason for it is their use of specific tools and rules when preparing presentations. In this course you will learn about these methods (and see examples of their use) which include:
- adjusting your presentations to its purpose and audience
- using the SPQA (Situation, Problem, Question, Answers) framework to define your presentation
- structuring your slides vertically and horizontally and filling them with meaningful charts
- abiding by several slide construction rules and argument structuring guidelines
- using checklists to make sure your slides are flawless.
I will also walk you through best practices of slides preparation and equip you with pre-defined rule sets for preparing powerful presentations that you will be able to download.

Key facts, supporting data, examples, and clear arguments. Structured logically (introduction → main points → conclusion). Focus on relevance, clarity, and credibility. Avoid unnecessary details.
