I am a professional powerpoint designer at Mckinsey, and good video man.

[@cdrama-central]

I was looking for ex-consualtant's video on how to create a poweful presentation and I found this video. Super informative!

[@pavanpriyatham7420]

I'm a management consultant and can say this video is spot on! It also reminded me that "If there's something in the slide that can't be explained by the title, then, maybe there is some extra unnecessary content on the slide". I almost forget this in order to get all the info onto my slides.

[@UofIllinois07]

Well done and frankly, nailed it. When you tell a story, focus on the “why”, and move beyond the “what”....that’s where you (we) really add value. Hope everyone implements these strategies because it’s exactly what buyers (or any listeners) need/want to be told. Story telling is marketing.

[@tvanbroekhoven]

Your videos are clear, informative, useful and applicable. Thank you! Subscribed and I hope many will follow.

[@StrategyU]

Thanks Brendan!

[@Hercules_tootoo]

Thanks bro.

[@greenlandconsulting]

great work

[@cargouvu]

Nice video... what font size and type are you using for the mock powerpoint slides?

[@StrategyU]

I typically use Open Sans or Montserrat

[@lindaye6311]

good job

[@dcmalmborg]

according to the graph, the revenue quadrupled in 5 years, not 4

[@tushardas9825]

Not sure if this makes sense at all. The Revenue update slide is too busy with lots of informations and wrong font sizing - Diappointing

[@tatarara1974]

Title: Revenue Quadrupled in 4 years. Chart shows revenue quadrupled in 5 years.

[@StrategyU]

You passed the test haha

[@TheGosteen]

Thanks for your advice man, just speak a bit faster :D

[@AbhishekSanyalTGV]

I am sure he spoke slowly to make it easy for non-native speakers.

[@TheGosteen]

@@AbhishekSanyalTGV yeah could be !

[@StrategyU]

Haha I’m just learning! Not a trained actor lol

[@TheGosteen]

@@StrategyU no worries man, your video helped me a lot, tbh I got the job after applying your advice. So thanks again.

[@classicsatu5767]

And this is the best presentation example you wanna show us? Fail

[@lanvinsgivenchy5421]

You work in consulting industry yet you are unable to go straight to the point ! the content of the video is quite painful just to make views !
