"Your slides shouldn't make sense without you". That's a real eye-opener. Thanks!
-
Thank you for the great Lecture and again reminded that simplicity is utmost sophistication. Regarding the branding, I suppose it would be helpful to infuse unification into the single slides,,, :)
-
Good tips! PowerPoint with office 365 is transformational, the morph, zoom and icon features have drastically changed the way I have done every presentation in the last 3 years!

"Your slides shouldn't make sense without you"🔥🔥🔥

Three quick tips that are spot-on, packed with quality, vision, and value. I love your take on notes, slides, and pdfs. Thanks, Leila. :)
-
Love it!!! Since I stumbled across your videos i'm hooked. I hope you will produce more. I'm in class currently and have to write papers each week. Our class is on its last exercise in Excel and I am seeing more of your videos being used. We will be in PowerPoint very soon I have posted your video on my power point paper. Your topic is informative for the newbies who are just starting out. Thank you
-
Thank you Leila! I would love to see more videos on Power Point presentation tips.Your videos are always the most helpful!
-
I like to add a 4th section to my PPT: at the end include critical communication info such as call in numbers or a Webex session number. You don't have to show that info, but if you need it due to a glitch you always have it for reference - you may forget your yellow sticky with the info but you always have the PPT.
-
Another great video! Thanks, Leila. You brought out some things that I hadn't thought of.
-
The Power of being to the Point.Thank you very much!
-
Excellent tips Leila, thanks for your advice. I fully agree that the presentation on each slide should be as small and clear as possible, straight to the point.
-
Thank you, Leila! Your tips and practices have been incredibly useful while preparing for ppt presentations. Hoping to see further content similar to this video. :)
-
Straight to the point video. Precisely what I needed. Kudos to you lady.
-
This is really insightful. Realized I have been presenting handouts and overusing the company logo.....thank you your tips are very helpful
-
Powerpoint, yes! Please make more videos with presentation tips and general Powerpoint tips.
-
Always great video’ s. I agree with all your points and it’s when you present on a regular basis that you realise that text heavy or over populated slides are the worst. I always think back to the simplicity of Steve Job’s presentations. 1 word can say it all. Would be great to see more PowerPoint videos from you. Thanks
-
Excellent message! “Your slides shouldn’t make sense without you” are words to love by! Thanks!
-
Thank you for your tips. The one tip on abbreviating words too much is spot on. I remember when I was a new employee and went to meetings where most of slides had weird acronyms. It confused everyone.
-
Thank you for this awesome video! I struggle a lot with story boarding my slides. Do you have any general tips that would be helpful to overcome this?
