SIX-SESSION VIRTUAL TRAINING AND LEARNING LAB SERIES

For Utah Prevention Professionals

Session 4 - November 19, 2021

Design It
Principles of slide design - we’ll focus on how to create polished, professional
visual aids for in-person and virtual environments.

Brief Training Description:
Do your presentations inspire and influence your audiences? Do you know how
to tackle tough topics and information overload?
We use presentations as one of our primary strategies to share content knowledge,
build skills, ignite calls to action and affect culture change. Many of us have attempted
to create compelling presentations, however most of us never receive any formal
training in presentation design - despite all we expect presentations to do for us.

In this six-session virtual training and learning lab series participants will learn practical
skills to plan and deliver exceptional presentations using the tools and resources they
already have.
Approximately half of each 1.5 hour session will be devoted to instruction and half to
interactive opportunities to reinforce content and give participants the opportunity to
move through the process of developing a presentation of their choosing.

Learning Objectives
After the series, participants will be able to:
● Apply a four-step process to create brain-friendly presentations
● List the most common presenter mistakes and understand how to prevent them
● Use tools and techniques that enhance learning
● Increase audience engagement and participation
● Use and display data effectively
● Design compelling, polished visual aids for presentations
● Transfer their knowledge to their peers
