Organizations invest heavily in communication, yet relatively few employees receive formal training in presentations, visual communication, information design, or presentation technologies. As presentations continue to play a critical role in decision-making, sales, training, leadership communication, and knowledge sharing, presentation capability has become an increasingly important organizational skill.
At the same time, presentation technologies continue to evolve rapidly. New presentation platforms, AI-assisted workflows, Microsoft Copilot, and changing communication expectations mean that presentation skills are no longer limited to creating slides — they increasingly involve storytelling, visual communication, information design, collaboration, and content governance.
Effective presentation training should be tailored to an organization’s goals, users, templates, brand standards, technologies, and existing skill levels. By working with an organization’s own presentations and communication materials, training becomes more relevant, immediately applicable, and easier to put into practice.
Presentitude® has delivered hundreds of hours of customized presentation training over the years, both in person and virtually. We work with individuals, small teams, and larger groups and offer training in presentation technologies, template use, core and advanced PowerPoint skills, presentation design, data visualization, AI-assisted workflows, and fully customized learning programs.
Design Principles for Presentations
Millions of professionals create important presentations every week, but relatively few have received training in visual communication or presentation design. Presentitude® teaches practical design principles that can be applied across PowerPoint, Canva, Google Slides, and other presentation platforms. Topics may include hierarchy, layout, typography, color, imagery, consistency, accessibility, and how to guide an audience’s attention effectively. The goal is not to turn every employee into a designer. It is to help people make better visual decisions and create presentations that are clearer, more credible, and more aligned with the organization’s brand.
Brand Kit and Presentation System Training
As organizations increasingly create presentations in Canva, Google Slides, Microsoft 365, Adobe Express, and other presentation platforms, traditional PowerPoint templates are often replaced or complemented by brand kits, design systems, shared assets, and content libraries. Presentitude® helps organizations develop training that teaches employees how to apply brand standards consistently across multiple presentation environments, including colors, typography, imagery, layouts, icons, templates, and reusable assets. The goal is to strengthen brand consistency while still allowing teams the flexibility to work within the tools and workflows that best support their needs.
Basic and Advanced PowerPoint Training
Presentitude® offers customized, hands-on PowerPoint training for individuals and groups at a range of experience levels. Training can cover core navigation, efficient workflows, formatting, image handling, charts, tables, animation, collaboration, accessibility, time-saving shortcuts, and advanced functionality. We can also explore how Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools can support research, drafting, ideation, and presentation development without replacing the need for communication judgment and design expertise.
Data Visualization and Storytelling
Moving data from Excel or another source into a presentation is often technically straightforward. Communicating what the data means is more challenging. Presentitude® teaches practical approaches to chart selection, visual emphasis, comparison, simplification, annotation, and narrative structure. Participants learn how to move beyond default charts and create data visualizations that help audiences understand patterns, focus on key insights, and support better decision-making.
PowerPoint Template Training
The launch of a new PowerPoint template is an important opportunity to build momentum, encourage adoption, and strengthen brand control across an organization. Presentitude® develops customized training programs that help users understand how to work with the new template, including its colors, fonts, layouts, placeholders, charts, and built-in functionality. The goal is to help teams create consistent, on-brand presentations while using the template confidently and efficiently.
