PowerPoint© Presentations
Make your presentations come alive with slides that tell your story! PowerPoint© presentations can excite your audience and emphasize your words when used correctly. Only key points should be included so you are not “reading” your slides. We select font that is easy to read, consistent, at least 26 points, limited to 7 words per line, and contains no more than 6 lines per page. We work with your information and data to develop professional presentations that represent your needs, are grammatically correct and visually attractive, emphasize key points, and strengthen your message. Call on us for clear, clean, distinctive slides that will enhance your presentations and make them memorable.

Presentation skills

Learn how to communicate clearly and effectively when working with or in front of a group. Do you want to “Wow” your audience and leave them thinking about your message? Do you want them to remember your key points after your presentation ends? Learn to present your program, analyze your audience’s reactions, answer tough questions, and change course when necessary. Instead of writing a “speech” to deliver to your audience, we work with you to develop note cards that prompt you to explain and cover each of your points. We help you practice delivering your presentation so that you are comfortable with all the material and ready to deliver your message with enthusiasm. Many people are fearful of public speaking, often because they are unsure about what to say. When you have mastered delivering your material and have confidence in yourself, your nerves will be under control, and your delivery will be seamless.

Writing
With more and more people communicating through email and social media, writing skills have diminished. However, developing your writing skills for the business world is still important – especially when you are creating professional documents such as agendas, proposals, and reports. We will show you how to be as concise as possible, use headings to indicate changes in topic, and use bullets or bold text to indicate the most important points. Outstanding writing skills provide an extra edge in the workplace and let others know how well you communicate. We will assist you in writing important material that reflects your personality and capabilities. Call on us to serve as your “business writing coach” or your editor (see below) to help you improve and enhance your writing.

Editing and Proofreading

If you have already written a document, whether business or personal, we will examine your word choice, clarity, and sentence length and structure. We will review your transitions, make sure your style remains consistent, and confirm that the content is well-organized and flows smoothly. We will ensure that the pages contain enough white space, the paragraphs are varied, and the length of each chapter is appropriate. As a final review, we will proofread by looking for errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and word usage. We will identify and correct any typographical errors the computer or formatting tools miss. We will make suggestions for improvement so your document is easy to read, understandable, and appropriate for your audience. Let us revise your writing to reflect your expertise. We want to help you shine!
