Fiona Walsh

Microsoft Master Instructor Fiona Walsh shares insights and tips on delivering winning presentations in this episode of The Global Discussion.

Fiona transitioned from managing large, multidisciplinary project teams to specialising in PowerPoint training and presentation consultancy. Through her company, Empower Presentations, she offers unique training experiences, brand consultancy services, and an unwavering dedication to improving how businesses present themselves.

As a Microsoft Master Instructor, Fiona provides in-house onsite and online PowerPoint and presentation training. She holds an MSc in Digital Innovation from The Smurfit School of Business at University College Dublin, a Diploma in ICT Teacher Training, an Advanced Diploma in Coaching with Neuroscience, and a Project Management Diploma. Originally a scientist, Fiona has over 20 years of corporate experience across QC, R&D, and IT Training fields.

Fiona believes that every great presentation is built on three pillars: People, Purpose, and Place. She has dedicated herself to turning data, facts, and figures into captivating information that audiences value. Fiona is convinced that great presenters are made, not born – and her clients' results testify to this belief.

Fiona shares valuable insights about creating engaging, professional PowerPoint slides and how her customised training helps to make the learning process more relevant. We discuss tips for PowerPoint, explore Fiona's strategies for preparing to speak at events (in-person or online), and examine the pitfalls that many organisations fall into with their PowerPoint templates.

Join us on The Global Discussion as we catch up with Fiona Walsh and uncover the secrets of compelling presentations and practical training. Her passion for empowering others through effective presentation techniques is contagious and inspiring.
