Why this Course is Important

Whether it’s the layout that looks plain wrong, a terrible choice of fonts, colours that don’t complement the presentation, a poor choice of images, or unnecessary animations – the PowerPoint decks you use when delivering a presentation says everything about you and your ability to persuade and influence others.
