Why take this course?

Why do CEOs pay consultancies hundreds of thousands to make a few slides and give a few presentations?

Besides performing in-depth analysis, consultants synthesize hundreds of hours of research into a structured, compelling presentation that fits within 30 minutes to 1 hour. Would you like to bring this level of professionalism and polish to all your presentations at work?

This course gives you the secrets used by top-tier consulting firms like McKinsey and BCG to present to CEOs and other senior clients. It is based on the first-hand experience of two consultants (ex-McKinsey and ex-BCG). Together, we have consolidated our experiences into one easy-to-follow course. This is a concise, to-the-point course summarizes for you the most important best practices for preparing and giving a presentation, alongside visual examples of good versus bad presentations.

Equipped wtih these tips, you will stand out from colleagues, impress your stakeholders, and set yourself up for success in your role. This is applicable for anyone who needs to give a presentation, including students, potential consultants, Business Analysts, Data Analysts, Project Managers, Strategy and Corporate development roles (and many more!).

By the end of the course, you will understand:

How to structure a presentation
How to design slides to share quantitative and qualitative ideas
How to present confidently and professionally

This is an excellent course. I haven't seen this content in other online resources, all the other courses just talk about how to use PowerPoint and make pretty slides, whereas this actually goes deeper to help me understand how to build an impactful presentation beyond the deck.

The course is excellent, and what I appreciate about it is that as you go through it, you don't become bored. You can discover the fundamental guidelines that you must follow in order to deliver a clever pack. The course's little overall duration is the only thing that worries me. Given his reputed consulting background, I believe the course owner might have been more generous and offered additional sessions. It is very clear that the course owner provided exactly the value for which we paid, and nothing else:)

Really helpful tips on communicating better. Specifically I never realized how important it is to be top-down and have so much structure when I speak - almost like in bullet points

I don't work in consulting but wanted to improve my presentation and PowerPoint skills. This was a helpful and structured course that helped me to understand what I should be working on to come across as more prepared and professional.

I really like the assignment - because I could download the beautiful .pptx example template and use that for my own presentations by adapting it

Really interesting course! There was a lot of insider tips that I never realized was important when making a presentation (e.g., what a storyline is and how to write better slide titles)
