Online – presenting professionally

Benefits

Presenting online with PowerPoint has long been everyday practice – whether in Teams meetings, client conversations, webinars or virtual conferences. But many quickly notice: what works in a physical room loses impact online. Attention spans are shorter, technical details are crucial, and the distance to the audience is greater.

In our online workshop “Presenting Professionally” with PowerPoint, you will learn how to come across clearly, confidently and engagingly in the virtual space. You will develop the ability to structure digital presentations purposefully, use media effectively and create closeness and presence online. Practical exercises, feedback and concrete tools ensure immediately noticeable progress.

You will experience how to give your presentations online in a way that makes people listen. You log in to the workshop from home with your own laptop. We practice in breakout sessions and in the plenary. Our feedback is concrete and immediately actionable.
