Leila, nowadays we are making presentation via MS Teams without applying presentation mode. Could you do a video with some tips for these types of situation? Merci
@@technicalabhicse5478 00 as an English as a Second Language instructor since 1973, I encourage you to listen to excellent recorded English videos here on TH-cam, then practice saying the same words. Make a voice recording of your speaking and continue to practice until your English is the way that you want it.
Although I agree with this statement in theory, but I feel that verbally giving the answer may not register with some viewers - those who are aural learners will pick up, whereas many of my students didn't understand, till the answer was visually displayed and then re-explained. So, when I ask a question in one slide, I not only explain this verbally, but follow-up with the answer displayed on a subsequent slide. Although this may be boring for those who have understood, the majority (who didn't) now got the point - which is what is the purpose of having the PowerPoint session, in the first place. It shouldn't be a brand-building exercise, but an attempt to transfer knowledge.
@@abdullah.a.nahyan Actually, personally, I don't believe in giving any handouts. My maxim is: Say what you want to say (in the class itself) or else your presentation is incomplete. All doubts should be resolved, while both the student and the lecturer are present. In fact, I encourage my students to make their own notes, based on their own understanding - I don't want them to just mug-up stuff from a handout (which is usually the case, when one is given). But this is only my personal opinion...😉
Good tips! PowerPoint with office 365 is transformational, the morph, zoom and icon features have drastically changed the way I have done every presentation in the last 3 years!
I just love your delivery. I bindge watch your channel. It's addictive. It makes me feel like my learning is an endless mountain I must climb and I am enjoying the view when looking down.
Thank you for the great Lecture and again reminded that simplicity is utmost sophistication. Regarding the branding, I suppose it would be helpful to infuse unification into the single slides,,, :)
Love it!!! Since I stumbled across your videos i'm hooked. I hope you will produce more. I'm in class currently and have to write papers each week. Our class is on its last exercise in Excel and I am seeing more of your videos being used. We will be in PowerPoint very soon I have posted your video on my power point paper. Your topic is informative for the newbies who are just starting out. Thank you
I like to add a 4th section to my PPT: at the end include critical communication info such as call in numbers or a Webex session number. You don't have to show that info, but if you need it due to a glitch you always have it for reference - you may forget your yellow sticky with the info but you always have the PPT.
Excellent tips Leila, flavored with a humorous acronyms stories. Please keep couple more Powerpoint tips coming as presentating ur findings is becoming as important as the analysis if not more!
You 3rd advice is very good....not logo on every slide. It comes just in time for me before I post my website next week! You are a blessing to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You speak so confidently and at peace. Thank you for your video slide teachings. What I am most struggling with right now when I make PowerPoint presentations is desiring for it to be creative, yet not over bearing. I am intimidated to think it is not enough, or too much. Your teaching helped eliminate some of that stress.
Excellent, 'your slides should not make sense without you' was the best, and the example of before n after slides tells a lot of dos n don'ts at a glance.
Well, I have to confess I'm the kind of person who made presentations and put the company logo on every right corner of the slides. After watching your video, I believe it's time to improve my work. Thank you for sharing tips and tricks in Power Point.
You know those situations where you think you're doing well, and someone comes along WITH SOLID ARGUMENTS and proves you wrong? This tutorial is a good example! Once again you do it Leila, Thanks a lot!!! 😉🤜🤛
The trouble with Leila's videos is they are like cookies freshly baked from the oven … still warm … and it is impossible to stop at just 'one' … always so good! … and for me a baker's dozen each time.
Leila: just wanted to tell you how much I like the way how you present your videos - it is so camly presented und very clear such that even I, not PP expert, can understand them
Hi Leila, hope you are doing well. I have been watching your videos for a long time and whenever I watch your video, it just blows my mind. I enjoyed this video as well. Keep it Leila.
This is so needed. I've seen more PowerPoints that are more like root canals than informative. When done correctly they can be so artistic and captivating. I hope that you do more of these to show the masses how to present properly.
Excellent video Leila! This is exactly my frustration with how some people use powerpoint: someone sends me a slide deck, and asks me “just to make the presentation.” No notes, nothing. You look like a fool trying to figure out what the heck the slide creator intended with each slide.
Always great video’ s. I agree with all your points and it’s when you present on a regular basis that you realise that text heavy or over populated slides are the worst. I always think back to the simplicity of Steve Job’s presentations. 1 word can say it all. Would be great to see more PowerPoint videos from you. Thanks
Thanks for your comment and your support. I'm planning to make more PowerPoint videos. Agree - Steve Job's had great presentations -except for the 3d pie charts :)
I totally agree with handout versus visual cue. And also the emptier a slide the better. When it comes to presentations I think I am at my best when almost every slide just contains images that help me to build and support my narrative.......they do say a picture paints a thousand words 😊
Agree with every word.Thanks so much. I have the same discussion with colleagues who want to plaster their documents with a logo on every page and who still try to use their slides as their speaking notes!
You're very welcome Erica. It's great you're spreading the word. It's a difficult habit to get rid of... for me the first one was difficult to adjust to.
Thank You dear Leila! It is very difficult to summarize or simplify a complicate process on one slide without mentioning too much text. Do you have a video about a real world example on your channel? Best!
Hi Leila I got so far a lot of inspirations from your channel, no need to mention that we love you and appreciate the channel. I'm in a mission to establish a project with many activities (tasks and subtasks) with many financing sources, I'm looking to be inspired by an excel sheet where i can track every single task/activity and control the planned budget + actual expenses. The main challenge for me is to produce flexible reports the would be extracted from an excel sheet journal using tools to filter the report as (total, by a task, by a financing source etc) Any tips or links are highly appreciated. Thanks
Thank you Dara. Your project sounds like a nice challenge. My main advice is to start off simple. Assign one or more sheets for your reports. Keep the original data on separate sheets and don't worry about formatting until you've done the basic setup.
@@LeilaGharani thank you for the advice, hope to see you covering those kind of reports in your channel. All the best I've decided to go through all your videos including those covering things that i'm familiar with. A true value Have a nice day
Hi Leila, I've been enjoying your excel videos and learning a lot, you're a great tutor I've run into a problem in a worksheet I've been working on and just wondering if you've ever come across it It could be down to my layout but I've been trying to create a dynamic tax table whereby I have a data validation list with 4 different circumstance to choose from, and when I link that to a vlookup to apply a formula depending on the circumstance the formula becomes static and only applies to the first cell in the gross wages column any ideas from anyone would be much appreciated or maybe it could be a possible video idea
I'm not exactly sure about the problem - Best is to post your specific question on Excel's tech community here: techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Excel/ct-p/Excel_Cat
Thanks. This was a good 3 pointer on better PowerPoint presentations. Why? Because these 3 points are the very ones I found to be the most valuable when designing presentations a couple years ago. Great confirmation.
Excellent points. I can't tell you how many times I've been to presentations and had to sit farther back, and the presenter's slides were so complex and crammed that I couldn't read them from where I sat, so I quickly tuned out the presentation and was bored.
Thank you so much for this. It am new to power point presentation and looking for how best to do it. I'm so thankful to have seen this . I can now get my own set up to present soon .
Thanks for the tips Leila. I have always wanted to keep my slides simple, and I loved the neighbor test you mentioned-slides without the presenter shouldn't make complete sense. But very often I'm faced with issue when it comes to wider distribution after the presentation-that audience expects to see more details on the deck. I've tried including notes on individual slides, but that doesn't always speak to the visual, so end up crowding my slide inevitably :(
This is called Crisp, to the point and everything explained so vividly. Thanks so much Leila! Generally, I have seen presenter reading their Slides and then call it a presentation!
I loved the video. It’s exactly what I teach my clients. Based on this and some of your other videos, I’d say that our approaches to slides are very similar. Which is why I am curious about one thing. You sometimes seem to use the word “presentation” as a synonym for “slide deck”. For example “... PowerPoint presentation...” I know that almost everyone does the same, but I feel that this reinforces the misconception that the sides are the presentation, i.e. they need to contain everything and be a document that is self explanatory. I would argue that the slides should not make sense without the presenter delivering them and the follow-up document should. Which I think you describe as the “neighbor test” and you seem to be advocating too. This is why I keep insisting with my clients that they use the word “presentation” for something that is much bigger (a presenter delivering a talk and using slides as visual support for what is being said) and that they call the visual support, if it comes in the shape of slides, a “slide deck” or just “slides”. I wander what your thoughts on this are. Thanks in advance and have a lovely weekend.
I always make 2 files. 1 to be used while I present as you described. And another that can be shared or referenced after I'm no longer around to make sense of it. I just found your channel but wish I would have found it sooner. More PowerPoint please.
Hi Leila! I'm creating a slide where I'm talking about a budget and how the budgeted money will be allocated for Rent, Salaries, Fixed Costs and Variable costs. Just wondering if there is some way to create a dynamic bubble chart with this? The idea to have bubbles for each head; the size indicating the how big the budge it. Example: salaries is going to be 50% of the budget so the circle is going to be bigger than the others. My end goal is to have the each bubble proportionally sized based on what the budget is... hope this is clear...!
Great ideas and tips Leila. I'm going to be presenting some information to an internal group this month and will now go back through my slides and apply your tips. Thanks again.
Great tips! My current problem is how to write using keyboard during presentation (slide show mode) because I don't have writting/drawing pad. Hope you have tips on this. Thanks
Hi Leila, another excellent lecture and now I realize I was using my slides as a cue... oh shame! I will take your advice and simplify and shorten - if possible. One thing in PowerPoint is timing - I wish there was a bar to show the time remaining and the slides remaining. While I set a little indicator on my smartphone, I usually forget to look at it. Much better something on the screen, even if the audience can see it, or better, if it only appeared on the laptop and not on the projector image.
lol! - Some of those abbreviations definitely shouldn't be used. This is a real challenge for those of us who want to show _all_ of the data. Thanks for reminding us of the KISS principle.
I work in a bank. Throughout my 20yr career in banking most people who put together slide presentations could just as easily write the same thing in WORD. Bullet point after bullet point. Paragraph after paragraph. It’s just in slides as opposed to pages. I’ve recently watched some of these videos and have adapted much of this slack presenting to do the following: - summarise the detail - add a visual representation of the summary wording - animate the visual by telling the story as part of the presentation. PowerPoint animations can be very powerful in engaging an audience if done with a bit of thought. I find making presentations much more enjoyable using the above basic techniques.
Thank you, Leila! Your tips and practices have been incredibly useful while preparing for ppt presentations. Hoping to see further content similar to this video. :)
unfortunately some of us are stuck with a particular format due to Company's policy. Not a lot of room for creativity or simplicity. We are told even what colors types and sizes of fonts are allowed depending on the type of slide or section.

I work in a bank. Throughout my 20yr career in banking most people who put together slide presentations could just as easily write the same thing in WORD. Bullet point after bullet point. Paragraph after paragraph. It’s just in slides as opposed to pages.
I’ve recently watched some of these videos and have adapted much of this slack presenting to do the following:
- summarise the detail
- add a visual representation of the summary wording
- animate the visual by telling the story as part of the presentation.
PowerPoint animations can be very powerful in engaging an audience if done with a bit of thought.
I find making presentations much more enjoyable using the above basic techniques.
