We’re proud to continue supporting the University of Derby Business Builder programme, helping aspiring entrepreneurs develop the skills they need to grow confident, resilient businesses.
Last week, our Business Development Coordinator Adrian Peck delivered an engaging workshop on “How to Avoid Death by PowerPoint” to students already running their own ventures – or preparing to launch.
The session focused on creating impactful presentations that keep audiences engaged, communicate ideas clearly, and avoid the common pitfalls that can leave even the best business concepts falling flat. From simplifying slides and sharpening key messages to presenting with confidence and purpose, students came away with practical techniques they can immediately apply to pitches, investor meetings and client presentations.
One of Adrian’s top tips he shared during the session: “More slides with less information is much more impactful than fewer with more information.”
It’s always inspiring to work with such motivated and ambitious students, and we’re excited to keep supporting entrepreneurial talent through the Business Builder programme.
