Creation

Applications like Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote provide incredible tools for preparing a presentation with visual aids.  Thanks to cheap projectors and now flatscreen televisions, more and more of us are being called on to give presentations.  Even job candidates can be sometimes be expected to use a slide show during an interview. Also because of the popularity of these resources, many of us have experienced ‘Death by Powerpoint’ — presentations with slides that were worse than having nothing.  You may be in the same boat as other presenters you have seen.  You want to give a good presentation — you just don’t know how. This skill gap only makes what can already be daunting — public speaking — even more difficult.

GeekCoaches can help you put together a compelling presentation.  In his other life, our chief geek, William Pitcher, teaches people how to present and pitch.   He can assist you with both the technical aspects of presentation software and the design principles of a good presentation deck.  GeekCoaches can also help you with the latest online presentation tools like Prezi and SlideShare.

By now, most people recognize the value of developing websites for businesses and those with projects to promote.  There are numerous real-life case studies that show a good website can make a dramatic difference even for traditional bricks and mortar businesses.  Unfortunately, until recently creating a website required expensive software, hosting, programmers and designers.  As a result, many people that need websites pay a small fortune to have others manage them, or decide to forego this important tool altogether.

GeekCoaches can help you develop your website on your own — saving up to thousands of dollars in design fees and maintenance costs. Furthermore, we can help you with greater providers to host your site saving you even more money.  Depending on what you currently have, you may even find you have a much better site doing it yourself.  As an example, the GeekCoaches site was developed in a few days by our chief geek — William Pitcher.

Today, it is easier than ever to take photos thanks in particular to the cameras on our phones. Camera phones can present challenges to taking good pictures though.  It can be hard to get clear shots or photos that have enough light.  There are apps to help improve your pictures, but finding the right one and mastering its tools can be its own challenge.  Finally, snapping many photographs means more files to save, organize, display and backup.

GeekCoaches can help you with saving and organizing photos.  Learn how to use the photo services of Flickr, Google+, 500px, Facebook and others.    We can show you how to backup your photos safely at home or online. Protect and showcase your treasured memories.
