Leila, I've been teaching the Microsoft Office applications for over 20 years to students in higher education, and now, in my retirement, I'm working with high school students. After all these years and thousands of lessons and exams, I learn something new from you almost every time I watch one of your videos. When I have a student struggling with a concept or skill, I have them watch your presentation on that skill and they nearly always have that "Aha" moment teachers love to see. Thanks for all you do!

Took your advice - got recognized by global leadership. I recently had to prepare a overview showcasing a program I’ve been building to enable sales teams. Long story short, a conference of 200+ people went so well that word got up to the tops of the business and I think it’s about to help me secure my next position because other parts of the business now want to implement. People were really impressed with the look and delivery. Thank you, seriously.

Leila, I am a university educator, and this year you SAVED MY LIFE. It is very difficult to keep students engaged through lectures on Zoom, and I never know if they fall asleep if their camera is off. Your tips have helped me make engaging slides quickly, and my students always give me positive feedback, which tells me they are following along. Please, keep posting videos on presentations and PowerPoints!

I have said this before, but I think it is worth saying again - Excellent presentation and video. I have spent the better part of a month checking out all of your videos about Excel, PowerPoint, Windows, even your Finance videos. All of them are great! I have signed up for your Excel Training course and I am currently about 50% complete. I can not say enough good things about your work. You have the ability to explain procedures, techniques, and concepts in such a way that they are easy to understand and remember. I really appreciate all you are doing. You are truly a Master of Education, regardless of the topic. Thank you.

Great tips, Leila. Besides well designed layout, graphics and structure for a presentation I would like to add another proven base rule for PPTs - it‘s called 10 - 20 - 30, which means maximum 10 slides per 20 minutes with no less than 30 points font size for text. Thus as a presenter I am forced not to REPEAT the slides‘ contents but to EXPLAIN them. Which in turn keeps up the attention of the audience.

I am an architect and environmental consultant. I have always attempted to use visual images photos & graphs (I'm a visual guy!) and limited the use of text or lists and never just "read" out the text of any slide. Why listen to the presenter when you can just read the slide? I am a passionate speaker so I wanted to "add" to the information on the slide to enhance its intended meeting. However, the organization of the topics towards a holistic goal has always been challenging. I like this visual "roadmap" idea and will check to simpleslides. Thank you for another great video:)

This is some awesome information thanks fro sharing. A few years ago i managed a movie theatre and we had monthly employee meetings. Most of my employees were teenagers and keeping them engaged was a hard task. What I found to also work well was adding trivia questions with pictures or small video clips during the presentation. This kept them from reaching for their phones due to boredom. I also chose different background images with bright colors on each topic slide to keep them expecting something new to look forward to. I miss my time there.

My two cents ... I have been a "fan" for quite a while and frequently visit, revisit (and revisit again) instructional videos on both your KZbin channel and main website. Your delivery, clarity and content is 'always' excellent. I have forwarded your KZbin channel and XelPlus webpage to dozens of people. Your general design advice in many of your videos is to "keep it simple" (i.e. tables, charts and visualizations). The recurring theme in "Visualization Secrets" is, "... keep it 'simple' … keep it 'clear' … keep it 'consistent'. So … diplomatically and respectfully … it is with some trepidation that I point out that recent presentations seem to have drifted a bit from that advice by using distracting set locations. The earlier presentations were focused on the "Essential Leila" presenting the material. But recently the different settings divert my attention and I start looking around the background … what is that next to the lamp? … what is on the table? … what is on the bookshelf? The videos from a few years ago was simply the "Essential Leila" … no frills, no other enhancements were necessary. The Essential Leila is simply the best … IMHO. Unsolicited comments to be sure … but to be VERY clear, I remain a HUGE fan … your work is unparalleled … and so VERY much appreciated.
@LeilaGharani4 жыл бұрын
I guess I just got tired of seeing myself in front of a white background all the time. And it's KZbin, so it should be a bit entertaining as well. My courses will remain focused on the essentials without frills. But point taken. In the end I make the videos for you and my audience and if the settings come across as too distracting we'll dial it down a bit. Thank you for taking the time to comment and I really appreciate your ongoing support! 😘

But for me I liked the consistency of delivery … and focus on presentation. " … And it's KZbin, so it should be a bit entertaining as well...." You are plenty entertaining with your "own" style. Waaaay to many of your competitors (weak competitors) are into their own self-promotion (not the material) … and try to be funny … try to act zany … play 'dress-up' … think their delivery is clever … and it all falls flat. For your material, viewers tune in for content … and you deliver that superbly. To be clear … I love … love … love your work … time … time and time again.
