Details

PowerPoint trainings usually focus on the technical skills to use PowerPoint, or the softer “storytelling” skills necessary to convey a message. To make effective slides, you need both. Hit the Deck teaches both, so students know what to do and how to do it. RSVP REQUIRED.

This is the afternoon session, which starts at 1:30pm.

Hit the Deck is designed to equip students with the tools necessary to make decks that are intuitive, polished and effective, as efficiently as possible. The goal of the course is to equip students with skills in two categories: Storyboarding, or the ability to craft an effective message, and PowerPoint, or the technical skills associated with using the program.  The learning objectives for each category are outlined below:

1.    Define the consumer of your information and anticipate the ask of your deck
2.    Define “storyboarding” and its importance when making slides
3.    Explain the Minto Pyramid and its application storyboarding
4.    Create a logical, supportable storyboard outline of a deck
6.    Understand, set up and optimize PowerPoint 
7.    Use keyboard shortcuts to insert/ manipulate graphics quickly
8.    Create and annotate complex, charts for data illustration
9.    Apply a formulaic approaches to create “pretty” and intuitive slides


In addition to the objectives above, upon successful completion of the course, students should be:
1.    More efficient with their time in producing more effective PowerPoint slides
2.    More confident in supporting senior executives and/or discussing slide needs with junior staff
3.    Better positioned to perform well during competitive internships and full-time employment
