Stop using graphs that no one understands
And create clear graphical data that makes your point.

You have data that would best be shown in a graph, so you fire up the default graphs in PowerPoint, insert it and think you're done.  But when you go to explain it, nothing is clear and you end up using a laser pointer waving it all over the place as the eyes of your audience glaze over.  Why live with unclear graphs that confuse instead of clarify?

I am here to help. My name is Dave Paradi and I am known as The PowerPoint Lifeguard because I rescue speakers and their audiences from "Death by PowerPoint". I have just finished a brand new type of tool that will blow your mind. It is a video tutorial that shows you step by step how to create clear graphs on your slides.  It is based on the extensive work I do in workshops and individual coaching assignments.  This video embraces my idea that "People don't want to learn software, they want to learn how to do what they need to do".  Most software training fails because it has the wrong focus, this video tutorial teaches you only what you really need to know.

Key techniques you need to enhance your presentation

You will learn how to:
  • Understand when to use each type of graph so you use the best graph to communicate your message.
  • Create graphs whose message is crystal clear even if you don't say a word.
  • Eliminate distractions on graphs to focus the audience on the key points you are making.
  • Learn to clean up each type of graph so it speaks clearly.
  • Learn how to import and modify Excel graphs so you can reuse graphs already created in Excel.
  • Get rid of confusing elements of the default graphs known as ChartJunk.

Easy to use CD format allows you to quickly and easily learn what you need

This CD based video tutorial is easy to use because:

  • It uses standard web type technology so there is no software to install and it runs on almost every computer.
  • The videos can be paused at any point so you can switch to PowerPoint and try the technique right away, locking the learning in your mind.
  • Each of the 25 videos is a focused lesson on a single topic, allowing you to learn only what you need and cut your total training time.
  • The CD menu makes it easy to find exactly the video you need, cutting the time it takes to recall how to do a specific task.
  • The more than 42 minutes of videos replaces hours that you would spend in a classroom.
  • The topics are selected to teach you only what you need to know, not every feature, allowing you to get back to your work quicker.
  • Everything you need is on the one CD, so you can use it whenever and wherever you need to.

Eliminate frustrating hours wasted trying to figure it out

If you wanted to learn this information in a classroom or with a private coach it would cost hundreds of dollars and take days of your time (you may have already spent way too many hours trying to figure some of these techniques out).  And if you press the "Help" button, be prepared to spend frustrating hours with a system that is not very helpful. How much is your time worth? Probably ten times the hundreds of dollars a classroom course costs. Stop wasting your time and money!

Save time and money with this unique CD

If you hired me at my coaching rate of $125 per hour, it would take at least five hours for me to show you these techniques and review them with you so you remembered them.  And you would have to take copious notes so you could refer to them later.  Instead of over $600, this unique video tutorial CD is now available for only $127! This is a fraction of the cost of learning this valuable information any other way. And the unique format speeds up your learning curve to supersonic speed.
