Stephanie Smith

Libby Magliolo

SMU Cox School of Business

I teach MBA-level business communications and presentation techniques courses. The courses focus on equipping students with the core skills needed to create and deliver a range of different types of presentations to a wide variety of corporate audiences.

Adjunct Lecturer

The Slide Master, LLC

I teach professionals how to build and deliver effective presentations. 

Through on-site as well as hybrid training sessions for audiences ranging from interns to executives, I teach the skills that busy professionals need in order to create and present in a way that drives efficient decision-making. We've all sat through meetings that could have been emails, and we have all seen too many PowerPoints that are "walls of texts" and covered in bullet points and 8-point fonts. 

Bad presentations result in lack of engagement, unproductivity, slowed decision-making and are a waste of everyone's most valuable commodity - time. Learn how to quickly put together an attractive, engaging, data-filled PowerPoint deck and learn how to give a presentation that drives conversation and decision-making.
