1. Dr. Zanete Garanti GIVING POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS

2. Even if you nail the content, design and structure, it doesn’t mean a thing if no one sees it. Presentations aren’t merely documents or files; they are a dynamic experience shared between a presenter and their audience. A great presentation is only as good as the delivery – both by the presenter and by the presentation technology they use. Whether presenting in a boardroom, off an iPad, over the Web or as a print-out, the right delivery can make all the difference between a great presentation, a missed opportunity or a presentation disaster. All the other elements don’t matter if the delivery just doesn’t work. IMPORTANCE OF GIVING PRESENTATIONS
