(No Ratings Yet)

Ellen Finkelstein is a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP, a recognized expert, speaker, trainer, and best-selling author on PowerPoint, presentation skills, and AutoCAD. Her articles have appeared in numerous magazines, newsletters, and blogs. She just announced the 2014 incarnation of Outstanding Presentations Workshop, her webinar series that allows everyone to learn from renowned presentation experts.

In this conversation, Ellen talks more about this new webinar series.

Geetesh: You have been doing these Outstanding Presentations Workshop webinars for some years now. And you are doing it again this year – tell us what’s new and what has changed?

Ellen: The format is very similar, although we’ll probably be seeing some live video of presenters this year. But we have 6 new presenters. The low price is still the best deal in presentation training around.

The webinars will happen on all Tuesdays starting from September 9, 2014 at 11am PT / 12pm MT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET and will end on October 28, 2014 (except for October 14). Each webinar will last approximately 1 hour.

Also, each webinar will be recorded so you can view it later (for 1 month after the session). Sign up for the webinars now! You must sign up, even to view the recordings.

Geetesh: Can you tell us more about your line of speakers this year.

Ellen: Certainly, here are the speakers lined up for this year’s Outstanding Presentations workshops:

Nolan Haims is a PowerPoint MVP and an amazing designer. He’ll be speaking on “Presenting the Story of Your Data.” So, it’s about charts, but the most gorgeous ones you’ve ever seen. And he makes it seem easy.
