In-Person PowerPoint™ Training Workshops and Seminars

PainFree Presentations Workshops and SeminarsWhether you prepare presentations for others, or build them for your own use, you need the skills and practice that these workshops and seminars provide.

The content of our Workshops and Seminars stems from Steve Puffenberger's landmark presentaion guide book, PainFree Presentations, which approaches a presentation from the audience perspective. If you make the images, words and graphs on the slide readable to everyone in the audience, PowerPoint will be an asset, rather than a distraction. If you control other distractions in the room - from seating orientation to outside noise - you'll be able to command more attention. If you adjust your presentation depending on conditions - time of day or season - you'll have your audience wanting more.

In fact very little of these training workshops and seminars has to do with PowerPoint (except for the beginner class.) It's all about what happens when you put a screen in a room and present to an audience. Minimize the distractions and maximize the impression!
