Book overview
Develop truly influential presentations
There’s an art and science to creating great presentation slides and Slide:ology® gives you insight into both. Whether you’re at the top or climbing the organizational ladder, chances are you’ve delivered a high-stakes presentation to your peers, your boss, your customers, or the general public.
Presentation software is one of the few tools that requires us to think visually on a frequent basis to communicate effectively. But unlike verbal skills, visual thinking does not come naturally to us and is typically not taught in schools … that’s where Slide:ology comes in!
With Slide:ology, you’ll learn how to generate ideas, translate ideas into informative graphics, sketch and diagram effectively, and create slides an audience can process to drive momentum for your cause.
