Managing the movement and controlling pace of your content to get the results you intend.
The ability to effectively guide an audience on an interactive journey through a presentation can catapult the professional profile of those who want to advance in the competitive workforce.
This course is a practical quick-start guide to teach you how to bring your presentations to life using Animations. Animations allow you to control the flow of presenting information so you can be authentically engaging and audience-centered.
I reveal how to enliven your presentations by using Animations to wake up sleepy, unimaginative, bullet-point-text content that has become the norm. To start, I teach you how to give movement and pizzaz to presentation content by sharing the fundamentals of Animations. Next, I share the purpose and power of using Animations to help you stand out with facilitation poise and your presentation unfold with impeccable timing. Then, I walk you through common workplace examples, actually using real Animations, to help you see and imagine how your next presentation can engender welcomed interaction from your audience, elevate your organizational profile, and highlight your professional value.
This course is the second in a series of three designed to provide the practical skills and knowledge for the effective presentation and delivery of information. Each course shares invaluable insight, “how to” instructions, and real workplace examples to illuminate concepts. This condensed but material-packed class enriches your knowledge and ability to create and deliver professional-looking presentations while sharpening your competitive advantage.
Soft Skills Coach
I’m a CPA and seasoned career business analyst, applications developer, and project management professional with 25 years of progressive experience. Over my career, I’ve moved between employee and consulting roles providing a unique dual-sided perspective. I understand what it’s like to be an employee who wants to maximize their contribution and advance, as well as, a consultant who must be adept at engendering customer value using tools and experience. Today as an IT professional, I continue to competently use a variety of tools to promote customer value. However, technical skills are not enough; My career exposure has taught me a myriad of soft skills to effectively manage projects, facilitate meetings, present information, communicate verbally/in-writing, and lead teams of professionals. I now want to share my knowledge and experience with other professionals who seek to fortify their skills and sharpen their competitive advantage.
Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
