Giving a PowerPoint presentation is always a daunting experience, but a PowerPoint presentation with extensive numbers content poses its own special set of challenges – a set of challenges rarely addressed by conventional presentation training programs. This course identifies the problems and issues specifically related to presenting quantitative information in PowerPoint, teaches how to determine the optimum numbers content of each slide and how to present that content, and suggests slide design tactics and presenter behaviors that will make the numbers understandable and meaningful to the audience.
Learning Objectives
- Determine how much numerical information to put on a PowerPoint slide without endangering audience comprehension
- Make intelligent choices about when to present numbers graphically rather than in tables
- Ensure the words on your slide, artwork, and animation can work together with your numbers to make your most important points stand out
- Ensure your pre-presentation preparation and your demeanor while presenting affect the credibility of your information

Great refresher to remind everyone that just because your PowerPoint is chock full of data, it does not mean that the audience got the things that you wanted them to see in the data. Presenters need to make sure they know their audience and what are the most effective ways to get the point across to them.
Actually quite gripping! I've done a lot of public speaking, gotten training, etc, but there are quite a few nuggets of wisdom and technical details in here that I've never heard before. I'm quite impressed by this; it's a must-take for anyone who is prepping a board package!
I liked the way the instructor engages and asks you to pause the video and look at/think about different options. I also hadn't given much thought to header options before, this was helpful and I'll put that tip to use.
Good enough content - covers the brief highlights on making a numbers-filed presentation work. Suggestion to presenter - delve deeper into advanced techniques for charts rather than just writing most of it off.
I liked that he gave specific rules and guidelines to making a PowerPoint. I think there is more I could learn in this department. The best tool I will take away from this webinar is the 8H Rule.
The most interesting part of the course was the 8H rule. I had hoped the course would include features/functionality of PP; however, the information presented was very basic.
A good reminder to make the best use of limited space and time by creating concise presentation slides that provide the key information your audience needs to know.
Some good points on use of tables and graphs. I think the tables are are a bit too crowded in his examples, making it hard to read even in the shortened tables
Good course. Mr. Bolten had some very good points, and he did a good job presenting them. I will definitely use a lot of his ideas for my next presentation.
Excellent course and helpful in many ways. Can there be another course from this instructor on how to handle Q&A when presenting financial information?
This course hit some important, often overlooked, concepts. Bolten emphasized that the slide show is about communicating meaning in the numbers.
This course was very easy and simple to understand. I learned a lot of information that will improve the quality of my presentations.
Randall Bolten made the time go by so fast and easy. Each section was informative. I will look for more of Mr. Bolten's courses.

I like some of the animation examples. Overall good points to keep in mind when presenting.
Good refresher, but presenter was talking too slow and didn't seem to have much enthusiasm
Perhaps good points but painfully boring. I expected more from this course, to be honest.
