Instructor
Glen Millar
Glen is qualified in science and often uses PowerPoint to communicate complex topics to a wide range of audiences. He became frustrated with bad presentations, particularly in 2001 at a conference where he saw a very good topic presented badly. Determined to fix his own presentations (and then the world’s) he commenced working with presentation professionals to understand the presentation profession, PowerPoint as a tool, and the good and bad of presentations he encountered.
