5 Small Changes to Improve Your Presentations Forever!

In this video, I dissect real slides from top consulting firms like McKinsey, Bain, and BCG to reveal 5 easy techniques you can start using today to take your presentations to the next level 📈

1️⃣ Contextualize Your Data:
Never share a data point in isolation. This helps you control the story and keep your audience engaged.

2️⃣ Master the SCQA Framework:
This framework is the backbone of every MBB presentation and it's a surefire way to structure your slides for maximum impact.

3️⃣ Embrace the Pyramid Principle:
Start with your conclusion and then present your supporting arguments.

4️⃣ Color with Purpose:
Whether it’s using contrasting colors to differentiate data points or choosing a color palette that reduces cognitive load, intentional color choice can make your slides pop.

5️⃣ Know When to Table It:
Charts are great for trends and comparisons, but sometimes you need a table to show precise values or a mix of different data types.

🎉 *Bonus*: Get extra mileage out of free tools like flaticons, colorhunt, and slides carnival to elevate your presentation game without sweating the details.
