Use PowerPoint more effectively to create presentations for others!

Chances are that you don’t deliver presentations, but you get asked to create PowerPoint presentations for others.

You’ve probably learned PowerPoint on your own or taken a basic course.  You’d like to get those slides created quickly and have them be accepted with fewer rounds of changes.

Learn how to hit the mark in creating presentations and use PowerPoint more effectively in this one hour webinar.

Here’s what you’ll learn: *    Five critical questions to ask your boss that will dramatically cut the number of revisions to the presentation (because you get it almost perfect the first time!) *    The one step that most PowerPoint users miss that causes headaches when re-using slides in another presentation (this will cut the time you spend re-formatting slides) *    How to fix common problems with the Slide Master that cause you frustration *    Quick text formatting tips that save you time *    How to remove the white background in a photo or logo so it looks much better *    A quick way to reduce the size of your PowerPoint file so it can be easily e-mailed without blowing up the e-mail server (and it keeps the IT folks off your back for using too much server space) *    How to access over 150,000 images you can use to add great visuals to your presentations – for free *    How use international standard tests to make sure the text and background colors you choose will be easy to see (no design background needed) *    And so much more!

I get it, you’re good at what you do – but are you remarkable? Do you really stand out as “one of the best”? And if you have been doing our job for awhile now (5+ years), how do you know if you are good anymore? Are you relying on your own self-taught skills to make you remarkable? Think about how much has changed in the last five years alone!

The reality is that we learn on the job. We learn as the tasks get sent our way. There isn’t a “manual” on what this job means anymore. The administrative role isn’t what it used to be. It probably isn’t what it was when you started – and it certainly won’t look like this in 10 years either. Are you keeping up?  Are you aware of the changing dynamics to be an administrative professional in this day and age?

We often don’t get alot of opportunity to attend training, to keep our skills cutting edge or even know how we compare in the marketplace. If you’re been unfortunate enough to have to look for a job in our current economy, you probably realize that your skills are not enough sometimes. What is going to make you valuable to your current company and what will make you stand out among a stack of resumes and interviews?

So to celebrate Administrative Professionals Week, we are going to talk about the top 10 things you need to do to Make the Leap to Remarkable!

• Self-assessment tool to see how you really rank as an administrative professional in 2012
• 100+ secrets and tips to make you stand out at work
• Things to do (and not do!). These have changed over the years, so don’t assume you know them anymore.
• Top 10 attributes of a remarkable assistant. How do you compare?
• What skills are needed in 2012? And what skills have become redundant.

And to celebrate, our webinar is free. Nada. Zip. No Charge. You’re right I never do this, but to celebrate Administrative Professionals Week, I am offering you this brand new webinar at no charge at all. I want to celebrate with you.

We’ll even give you a certificate of attendance for your own files!

Take one hour of your workday to celebrate what you do. You’ll walk away with some valuable information, and an action list of things to help you “Make the Leap to Remarkable”. And you will feel good because you took time to celebrate YOU, your profession and to learn a thing or two.

To register, please email Caroline@on-the-right-track.com with “Reserve me for Make the Leap to Remarkable” in the subject line. She will then send you all the information you will need to attend our free session.
