Extreme Makeovers - Slide Edition

Many of our workshop participants ask us, “What makes a compelling presentation… and how can we make our slides go from bad to great?”

So how can we use visuals in our presentations to make information easily scannable, digestible, and—most importantly—memorable? The trick is to put yourself in your audience’s shoes and show them what they need to know and doin just a glance.
