Hesburgh Libraries

This workshop is designed to help you develop the ability to create impactful slide decks and enhance your presentation skills. No matter the audience, a strong visual presentation can determine whether you "get to yes" with your stakeholders.

Participants will move from the founding principles of design (Gestalt) to storytelling techniques. We will move from best practices for designing slides (including data-rich slides) to combining those slides into a highly impactful data story.

No previous experience is necessary.

Learning Goals

1. Learn the theory (Gestalt) behind designing impactful visuals
2. Learn theories of narrative storytelling for presentations
3. Practice actively redesigning slides and restructuring slide decks for optimal effect
