Engaging your audience with stunning PowerPoints
Introduction
In this PowerPoint course, we go beyond the basics and explore PowerPoint’s rich tools for creating an engaging visual experience. We begin with good design principles and see how we can develop our own themes and masters to create a unique look that’s on brand.
We delve deep into the graphic tools to enhance existing images and create our own and then bring our presentations to life with advanced animation techniques, video and sound. Finally, we explore the latest features for setting up and exporting our shows for a great presentation experience.

“Thank you Jackie so much again for putting together such an insightful presentation. As I mentioned, the feedback so far has been really positive and a few people I have spoken to in the office today have already made some tweaks to their default settings. Your presentation skills were some of the best I’ve seen, and I was impressed with how you were able to navigate between screens despite the technical challenges. Thank you again!”
“Brilliant presenter, kept the session engaging. Very knowledgeable without overloading”
“Mary was very knowledgeable on the material and able to answer any queries quickly and effectively, there are many strategies that I took from the training that will allow me to build on previous knowledge and be more effective working within Outlook.”
“The course and facilitator were great and therefore was served well. I learnt so many new things. Our facilitator was a great teacher. Very knowledgeable, spoke at a good pace.”
“Brendan was awesome, I liked the way he made the training engaging and interactive although it was virtual. One of the very few virtual trainings I have enjoyed”
“It changed my life really. I felt like I’d been baptized at the end- I really felt so much lighter and freer! I’m in control of my life, actually I can, I can work the way I want to work.”
“I recently had the privilege of taking a refresher course on Microsoft Outlook, and it was nothing short of transformative. It was a wake-up call for me, realizing that I had been using Outlook for years, yet there was so much more to learn and exploit.”
“Went into the course thinking I would learn a few tips on using MO more efficiently, came out with a breakthrough on how I could be the high performer I want to be and still have a life.”
“The Australian Chamber Orchestra has engaged Priority for 15 years to conduct Outlook training, which is considered an important component of our induction process to assist with productivity. It’s always a pleasure to liaise with Priority Management. As a participant, I found the online workshop to be informative, educational, fun, and engaging.”
“A HUGE thank you for the OneNote training that I completed. Having completed courses previously, I was expecting similar basic content and a struggle to say engaged. I was pleasantly surprised by Marys knowledge and ability to engage all attendees from beginners through to more advanced users, covering a range of skills, including more advanced use scenarios. I learnt a lot and have already applied many of the skills that I learnt.”
“I am very happy with the content, how Brendan facilitated the training etc. Everything was concise, meaningful and respectful.”
“I was hesitant on how much I could learn on an 8 hour outlook course but the course exceeded my expectations and I was surprised by how much I took away from the course.”
“Nicky had had obviously prepared well and had customised the training for our unique needs. She made learning fun and delivered the content at the perfect pace.”
“Such a great course. Thoroughly enjoyed the training and learned so many new things that I know will benefit both myself and the organisation.”
“I thought it was great! Probably one of the best trainings we’ve had at our face-to-face.”
