Learn to communicate ideas efficiently and transform your presentations into memorable experiences for projects, services, or products
"All the great ideas in today's world were, at some point, a slideshow", say Érica Igue and Mauricio Quitero. Both became specialists in the subject after presenting projects for brands such as Hershey's, Amazon, Netflix and Google.
In this online course, Érica and Mauricio will teach you how to make impactful presentations with texts, images and even videos or GIFs. To do so, they will address everything from how to build an engaging narrative and control the aesthetics of the slides to how to use oratory and non-verbal language to win over the audience at show time.

What's included in this course?
To begin with, both Érica Igue and Mauricio Quitero will tell you about their professional careers. From there, you will find out who their influences are when it comes to communication and oratory.
Afterwards, you will understand the importance of a good presentation, its types and formats. You'll also discover tools to assemble your slides, such as Google Slides, and you'll see step by step how to use them. From real cases, teachers will show different ways of building a narrative, whether to sell a product or communicate an idea.
It's time to practice. For this, you will define the objectives and target audience of your presentation. After researching and brainstorming, you'll learn how to plot the story of what you want to tell and how to make your slides look attractive.
Later, teachers will teach good communication practices, with tips on postures, gestures and expressions. You'll also see a variety of ways to rehearse and gain confidence. Thus, you will be ready to act in a face-to-face presentation and a virtual one. Communicating is part of everyday life in any profession. Grab the viewer's attention and get your message across!
What is this course's project?
You will create a slideshow to sell an idea, product or service.
