How to Create Slides that Don't Suck (and Help Others Do the Same)

Stop for a moment and think about the last presentation you watched (or presented). Did the speaker read the slides to you? Did you hear the phrase, "Now this next one might be a little hard to read"? Were there flashy animations? Or over-enthusiastic use of clip art? You aren't alone. Now imagine working for a webcasting company. You'd see a ton of online presentations, right? You might even have to present some of your own! That's true for Sonic Foundry veterans St. Angel and Pollard. Yet there's one thing you'll rarely find in their presentations: traditional PowerPoint slides. They didn't just decide to stop having boring slides one day. They read books, watched great speakers and used trial and error to find a presentation style all their own. If you'd like to create more engaging presentation visuals, and help others in your organization do the same, join this live webinar to get the basics of not just great slide design, but presentation delivery. We've culled the best tips from experts, and added a few of our own, to ensure you'll leave inspired and ready to spread the good presentation word.
