This is part 3 of a series that looks at Presentation procrastinators. Read the first and second parts here.
Busy executives typically don’t have the time to create a PowerPoint presentation, but if you let them know it can be faster and easier without challenging or eating into their schedule, then the presentation will go much more smoothly, with their collaboration.
Draw on your experience and creativity—and let them know you’re there to help, assist, and support them as a collaborator and coach. Let them know that you can work as a basic presentation designer—or a full-fledged partner in collaborative content—and design value along the way.
If they’re worried or concerned they don’t know what to say or don’t have the time to develop a presentation, encourage them to relax and not stress. However, emphasize the need to ‘not delay, do it today.’

Here’s a quick walkthrough of the PowerPoint 365 for Windows interface. You will notice that the PowerPoint 365 interface is quite similar to the one in PowerPoint 2019 for Windows. PowerPoint 365 for Windows opens with Backstage view. This view provides several ways to create your next presentation using a template or Theme. You can even open an existing file. Once you make choices in this view, you see the actual PowerPoint interface.
Explore the interface for PowerPoint 365 for Windows.

Stephy Hogan used to be a total design snob until she was thrust into the world of presentation design. Ever since, she has been passionately evangelizing the field in an attempt to elevate the industry as high as its other design counterparts. She is also a web developer and believes that user experience isn’t limited to the internet and its principles apply just as strongly to presentations. She has been a designer in marketing and communications for a variety of places from small non-profits to Fortune 500 companies since 2002. Stephy is a founding board member of the Presentation Guild, a facilitator for Duarte, Inc., and a Certified Presentation Specialist.
In this conversation, Stephy talks about the Presentation Summit, being held in San Antonio, TX, this year from October 6 to 9, 2019.
