Creating a good presentation takes more than putting information onto slides. You need to decide what to say, structure your ideas, simplify complex information and create visuals that help your audience understand your message.

This practical one-day workshop explores how AI tools can support the presentation creation process — from planning and content development to slide creation, visual enhancement and refinement.

Participants will learn practical techniques to work with AI to brainstorm ideas, structure presentation content, develop stronger storytelling, simplify information and improve slide design. They will also explore how to use AI as a presentation critic to identify unclear messaging, information overload and opportunities for improvement.

The focus is not simply on generating slides with AI. Participants will learn how to use AI effectively while applying their own judgement, creativity and presentation skills to produce clearer and more engaging workplace presentations.

Whether you are presenting to management, colleagues, clients or stakeholders, this course will help you create professional presentations faster, with greater clarity and purpose.
