Powerful Presentations Workshop at Columbia University 2025

Communicating data plays a crucial role in the work of researchers and analysts. Often, however, effective ways to communicate data is an after-thought, secondary to the analysis, which ultimately limits the effective relay of information. In this Powerful Presentations workshop, attendees will learn the key, practical strategies to creating, designing, and delivering great, effective presentations.

Powerful Presentations Workshop: Designing and Delivering for Impact is a training workshop that provides a well-rounded introduction to improving how people design and deliver their work. This workshop is divided into three main parts to guide attendees’ process from presentation conceptualization, to creation, to delivery. The first part focuses on planning the presentation; instead of booting up the computer and immediately inserting text, graphs, and images onto slides, attendees are presented with a process for outlining the content of their presentation. The second part is about building the presentation: how to create more effective text, graph, and image slides. The final section moves to the practical details of giving the presentation.
