What is Individual Coaching?

For many individuals, group development coaching is not appropriate for addressing their specific needs within the business, particularly if they hold senior positions with a lot of responsibility. In order to maximise the value and talent that these employees can bring to the company, a one-to-one relationship, completely bespoke to their requirements is essential. Individual coaching responds to them as they outline personal and business goals and challenges, addressing key concerns and constantly reviewing progress.

Many companies use PowerPoint daily as a key part of their sales, marketing and internal communications processes. Our training programmes focus on helping you maximise the impact of this tool and one of the questions we get asked most often is how to alter slide layouts so they are consistent throughout a presentation – particularly when you are copying slides from existing files.

Here are five top tips to help you do this quickly and easily.

1. Invest time to save time - use the right theme/template

Begin by creating a new presentation based on your company’s theme/template where appropriate. This is key as it will provide your future work with a consistent look and save you valuable time if you need to copy slides from one presentation to another (see point 3 for more on this). Additionally, when other users are involved in customising or re-creating presentations, it ensures you retain a consistent look and can produce tailored content fast!

Often when people tell us they are having problems getting the reports they want from their Excel logs or tracking sheets, the heart of the problem rests with the starting point, the source data, and in particular the way it’s laid out. They are keen to make the initial data clear and easy to read but also want to be able to manipulate the data and get answers fast.

With Excel’s Table functionality your data can still look good and be manipulated and analysed quickly.

Here are six good reasons to try this technique.

1.      Clarity

2.      Integrated sorting and filtering

3.      Headings that are always visible

4.      Simple selection and navigation

5.      Dynamic data range

6.      Automatic analysis

 

What do you need to get started?

The easiest approach is to keep the initial information in a simple table layout with the headings in the first row and data entered consistently in each column.
