​40% of time on PowerPoint is spent formatting, that’s 40% more time than we used to spend before PowerPoint existed and its mostly because people don’t know these fundamental tricks. 95% of PowerPoint slides are boring, a statistic that most business people agree with.

PowerPoint misuse is to blame, as the average user spends too much time to produce a poor result.
 
Join our FREE webinar Must Know PowerPoint Speed Up Tricks on 26 February at 10am to 11am to learn how to use PowerPoint more effectively by applying the following tricks:

• Draw perfectly horizontal lines & perfect circles

Imagine your company hires a new employee and then everyone just ignores them, day in and day out, while they sit alone at their desk getting paid to do nothing. This situation actually happens all the time -- when companies invest millions of dollars in new tech tools only to have frustrated employees disregard them, says Nadjia Yousif. In this fun and practical talk, she offers advice on how to better collaborate with the technologies in your workplace -- by treating them like colleagues.
