there's one simple change you can make to all of your presentation decks to come across as more strategic. I learned this tip when I was working with the CEO, I sent him a slide deck and he completely redlined one area of all my slides. So the thing that he told me to do was to stop using standard titles on my presentation slides and turn those titles into headlines. So if you're a project manager, you have probably presented a slide with the title, Project Status Update, or Q1 Update, which is what I did in my decks. So instead of Project Status Updates, I started saying things like 90% of projects were completed on time this quarter. So by starting with the conclusion, you're already training the audience to take away the insights that you want them to. The fact that you completed 90% of projects on time is probably impressive and you're leading with that on the slide instead of running through a list of bullet points. It sounds simple, but it will completely change the way that people see you when you present information. So I'm Ashley, I'm an executive coach and I also write a weekly newsletter called Reframed and you can subscribe at the link in my bio. Also, I'm in Hudson Valley this weekend and it is beautiful. Look at the scenery.
