PowerPoint in your pajamas

The new remote work reality means that your presentations and training sessions have to work from home, too.

Here are some tips to keep people engaged and interested.

More slides: Screens are smaller at home; present info in smaller chunks with bigger fonts and images. More movement on screen = more engagement.

More prep: People can tell if you are reading. Prep as if it were live, and know your material.

More energy: Let the audience feel your enthusiasm through your voice.

More practice: An online run-through with a colleague makes all the difference. And it boosts your confidence, too.
