Training tip When creating an original PowerPoint presentation, use visuals along with your words. This facilitates active learning, enabling the audience to better connect with your content. Start by writing a headline that clarifies what you want to illustrate and then use an appropriate image instead of additional text. You can use photos from Rotary Images or from your Rotary club. And you can build diagrams and charts to enhance your PowerPoint content. Email your training tips to traini...@rotary.org. Quick Links Learn.rotary.org Rotary News Email Training Talk Editor
