Course Description

This course will reveal the seven secrets to creating awesome financial presentations that accountants never learn. And best of all, they are simple techniques that you can implement right away.

We’ll start with the most important recommendation: simplify your slides.

Next is focus on the design. I’ll tell you why you should avoid using the built-in templates with bullet points that come with PowerPoint. We’ll discuss the importance of font styles, the essential rule of three, and more.

Next is the importance of using a colour palette. Ignore this one at your peril. It’s one of the main reasons why many presentations look awful.

Next is how to revolutionize your slides with images, transitions and video. I’ll show you how to get millions of free, and paid, stock images and video to use in your next presentation.

Next is how to make great tables.

And then there is a substantial section on how to show numerical information in graphs so you can get your message across while keeping your audience engaged.

Last is the importance of telling stories. Everyone likes a story so if you want their attention, this is what you need to do.
