Description
Presentation and communication skills are more important than ever in todayâ€™s business world.Â Scores of studies show that communications skills are at the top of the most desired skills for new hires.Â PowerPoint is the default method of communication in business, and yet, almost no one excels at communicating in PowerPoint.Â No one, except for management consultants that is.Â

Consultants at the top three firms McKinsey, BCG, and Bain are experts at making complicated ideas understandable and driving business leaders towards making changes and implementing solutions.Â They have developed a system for how to do this, a system I can teach you.Â Believe it or not, their system relies on impactful presentationsÂ in PowerPoint.Â

I will teach you the same techniques that I learned as a consultant at BCG.Â These techniques helped me convince clients to implement ideas delivering hundreds of millions of dollars of annual impact.Â I moved into business development post consulting, and the same techniques apply to selling clients and convincing them thatÂ your proposal is their best option.

In this course we will cover the entire presentation development cycle and learn how to:

Determine your key message
Lay out your argument with the pyramid principle
Develop supporting arguments that are MECE
Arrange your presentation into a compelling storyline
Create attractive slides that are effective
Utilize titles to avoid confusion
Make good charts that support your key message
Tailor your presentation to your audience
Portray executive presence when speaking
Present over the phone
Sound smart
Save time with tips and tricks in PowerPoint

We will review the concepts and principles we discuss by looking at some actual McKinsey, BCG, and Bain slides to see how they used them.Â

The work that consulting firms do is difficult, but the system they use to present their results is not.Â I can teach you how, and the difference it will make in your career can be trans-formative.Â I know it will be, it was for me.Â I look forward to seeing you in the course!

Instructor's Courses

I am a Director at a major international strategy consulting firm with experience working in data science and consulting across multiple industries including consumer goods, retail, travel & tourism, manufacturing, banking, and defense. I am passionate about analytics and presenting the results in ways that are easy for others to understand and drive them to take action. Solving difficult problems with data, and teaching others to do the same, is something I am passionate about. I have been offering my thoughts and advice on how to do that on my site, The Analytics Dude, and have conducted internal and client training sessions. The greatest data science recommended solution in the world is useless unless it spurs someone to take action. I learned the value of management consulting style presentations when I worked in banking. Some of my ideas that were previously rejected by senior management were accepted after McKinsey presented them. After that I sought out a move into management consulting (BCG) so that I could learn how to persuade others and drive them to action the way they did. After leaving my first stint in consulting I worked in business development at one of the largest sales and marketing organizations in North America and saw the value of quality presentation materials on a daily basis.I am also a former pilot in the US Navy and am passionate about helping military veterans find roles after leaving the military.
