The main topics are arranged in a proper manner so that the presenter gets the idea of the presentation systematically. The main weakness of the presentation is the lack of number of slides. Especially in the third side where, the individual has written three points regain of the key points of the session, whereas the speaker notes say a lot more than the purpose of the session. It might have been helpful if the third slide just talked about the purpose and later explained the points in addition this, there is no pictures.

In this way, even if the presenter does not use the picture, the audience will read the text as it will attract their attentions. In the slide of the key points of the session, type of communication, leadership approaches and organizational conflict could have been explained in a better manner in the slides.

It is up to the presenter to decide how and where the animation should be used. The presentation after the change After the change, the presentation should have a pictorial representation of the title in the tile slide. The picture should be clear and the audience should be able to acquire an idea about the subject that will be presented in the presentation. After the change, the presentation should have some of the animations to make the presentation interesting. It is not necessary that the animations will have any connection related to the information shared in the presentation but it will help in keeping the interest of the audience alive.
