Presentations using slides are a very common mode of communication and collaboration in the workplace. The content may be a report on the work you have done or a description of an idea that you have for improving a product or a process or for creating a brand new product or service. Presentations enable others to learn from and connect with your thoughts and become collaborators.

Powerful presentations have a clear structure and flow of concepts and ideas that enable others to understand them easily. In this course, we will first describe the structure and process of effective verbal communications. A significant aspect of the process is the preparation of the message and its delivery. We will discuss a basic structure for preparing powerful presentations and deepen the learning through practice.
