5 Small Changes to Improve Your Presentations Forever!
In this video, I dissect real slides from top consulting firms like McKinsey, Bain, and BCG to reveal 5 easy techniques you can start using today to take your presentations to the next level 📈 1️⃣ *Contextualize Your Data:* Never share a data point in isolation. This helps you control the story and keep your audience engaged. 2️⃣ *Master the SCQA Framework:* This framework is the backbone of every MBB presentation and it's a surefire way to structure your slides for maximum impact. 3️⃣ *Embrace the Pyramid Principle:* Start with your conclusion and then present your supporting arguments. 4️⃣ *Color with Purpose:* Whether it’s using contrasting colors to differentiate data points or choosing a color palette that reduces cognitive load, intentional color choice can make your slides pop. 5️⃣ *Know When to Table It:* Charts are great for trends and comparisons, but sometimes you need a table to show precise values or a mix of different data types. 🎉 *Bonus*: Get extra mileage out of free tools like flaticons, colorhunt, and slides carnival to elevate your presentation game without sweating the details. *THE NO BS PRODUCTIVITY NEWSLETTER* 📧 https://www.jeffsu.org/productivity-ping/ *TIMESTAMPS* 00:00 How McKinsey, Bain, BCG create slides 00:25 Never Share a Single Data Point in Isolation 02:13 Use the SCQA Framework 04:16 The Pyramid Principle 05:51 Use Color with Intention 07:16 Table vs. Charts 08:59 Bonus Technique from Top Consulting Firms *RESOURCES I MENTION IN THE VIDEO* Presentations mentioned in this video - https://www.jeffsu.org/presentation-techniques-from-mckinsey-bain-and-bcg Free Tools to Use in Presentations - https://youtu.be/5c9SapE_YNU Analyst Academy Video - https://youtu.be/HnlWiVs9P5o *MY FAVORITE GEAR* 🎬 My YouTube Gear - https://www.jeffsu.org/yt-gear/ 🎒 Everyday Carry - https://www.jeffsu.org/my-edc/ *MY TOP 3 FAVORITE SOFTWARE* ❎ CleanShot X - https://geni.us/cleanshotx ✍️ Skillshare - https://geni.us/skillshare-jeff 📖 Readwise - https://readwise.io/jeffsu/ *BE MY FRIEND:* 📧 Subscribe to my Productivity newsletter - https://www.jeffsu.org/productivity-ping/ 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/j.sushie 🤝 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsu05/ *👨🏻💻 WHO AM I:* I'm Jeff, a tech professional trying to figure life out.
