As a bit of a design enthusiast myself, this video is an absolute gem, Jeff. I really liked how you broke down and clarified the use of different chart types depending on the use case!
Hey Jeff, I'd like to tell you that you have an amazing channel, and I wish you could have more videos uploaded. Your videos are well-written, to the point, and explained in a simple way with good graphical edits.
Love the tips and breakdown on SCQA! When going through uni, one of my finance professors always stressed the need to "tell a story" when pitching an idea and I just find it really interesting how everything falls together here :3
Great point about the use of color but we also need to ensure accessibility. 8% of the global population is color blind. It is important that color is not the only way to communicate and that content stands out and is easy to read even in greyscale. So keep the color but test your slides in color blind mode to ensure there is a lot of contrast and combine the use of symbols or patterns in the presentation of data.
So important, agree! Fonts with backgrounds that are too similar in color are hard for people who even just have slight vision issues. Thank you for the reminder. 🙏💕
I’ve missed these types of videos. You’ve been killing it with the AI videos, and I think you (rightfully so) gained a lot of followers for it, but I must say, I’m very happy to see an “old school” Jeff Su video again. Now I’m only missing like 20 videos on sheets, docs and Google workspace for business 😁
I appreciate your detailed analysis of consulting firms' presentation techniques. When it comes to using tables instead of charts, how do you suggest finding the right balance to effectively present precise data without overwhelming the audience, particularly in complex presentations?
I found the tips on using data effectively and using color with intention to be very helpful. I think these are two techniques that can be easily applied to improve any presentation. Thanks for creating the video!
I love how it went from "They don't sponsor me bc Apparently I make too many jokes." to "they [the clients] don't give a fuck about the work we did" I did not expect that in a video about presentations 😹
I like the input, there are certainly valid points I will try to consider in the future! The only thing I dislike about consulting presentations are that it seems to be modern to put complete sentences, results or statements in the headline of a slide. I just cannot do this as it annoys me every single time. There should be a brief 1-3 word description whats on the slide instead of 1 or even two full sentences. But maybe thats just me...
So unfortunately 😅 I would have to say I like how the consultants do it. Headers should technically be standalone sentences that tell the reader what the point of the slide is 😁
Sometimes just $900,000😆 Jeff, I'm subscribed because your videos are always succinct, informative, and humorous. I got laid off but I look forward to using your content again when I start working :)
@@JeffSu I actually used your job search videos in the past! I think I found your channel from your first LinkedIn profile tips video!! This time around I'm actually just trying to rest and enjoy my funemployment. It's been a great break from work
Don't sleep on Jeff Su, your videos are great. All the concepts discussed are very helpful and I'll use these in my next presentation and see how it works! With your presentation skills can you please do a critical analysis on Alex Hormozi's $100M Leads presentation? I think it would be very valuable to those who can't pickup all the details.
found your channel because I needed chatgpt help, now finding that your presentation style and pacing is fantastic as a general lesson in communication. *(by the way with such crisp video quality please iron out some of your shirt wrinkles!)
What software do you use to make the videos? Is there any 3rd party software for the things like the transitions and zooming/panning etc? Keep up the good work!
Hi Jeff, big fan of your work! First of all, sorry if I make any english mistakes. Can you explain the ocasion to use the SCQA or the pyramid principle? Because, if I undestand correctly, one says to start with the conclusion and the other to start with the situation. How do I put them together?
Good question! Interestingly enough I know for a fact it doesn't because in China usually red = good. But since my primary audience is in the US I kept that example in 😁
Hi Jeff, I do have a question regarding using the SQCA and Pyramid Principle in my workflow. I have a weekly report wherein I have to report on the operational health of the team. I have to list their metrics week-on-week. How do I incorporate the SQCA framework with this? And how do I then use the pyramid principle? Would an SQCA like this work? Situation: Team is doing well Question: How well is the team doing Complication: Here are the low performers/problems that occured this week Answer: What I'm gonna do to solve this
Pro tip: Not everything needs to incorporate the SCQA principle. If the goal of your report is to give an update on the stats week-on-week, just be as concise as possible 😁
@@JeffSu sorry Jeff it was meant for someone else's video 😅 I was watching there video and was typing it at the very end of their video.. their video ended and yours popped up.. so you got the comment

Hey there
I'm new to your subscriber's list
Just wanna know, which mac variant (with spec.) are you using..
your straightforward but still impactful videos are just incredible
Woohooo thank you for the kind words my friend 😁
As a bit of a design enthusiast myself, this video is an absolute gem, Jeff.
I really liked how you broke down and clarified the use of different chart types depending on the use case!
Woohooo glad you liked that part my friend 😁
I love how you dive straight into it. Love your videos!
It's because I value my viewers' time 😁
Jeff, you crushed it! We can tell how much work you put into your videos, thank you!
Only the best for my viewers 😁

When going through uni, one of my finance professors always stressed the need to "tell a story" when pitching an idea and I just find it really interesting how everything falls together here :3
Your professor sounds like a smart guy, almost as smart as a certain youtuber who makes borderline inappropriate jokes.... jk 😏
I love the pyramid principles. I guess it will help me in my future presentation.
Let me know if you end up using it!

4:38 Perfectly summarizes why I've sub'd to Jeff, ofc for the borderline inappropriate jokes!😂😂
I wouldn't have it any other way!
6:25 How subtly Jeff sneaks in Google theme highlighters😂
Glad you caught that 😉

Highlight at most 3 pieces of data you want to talk about and their implications
Glad to hear it!!
Humor makes the presentation engaging. Kudos @JeffSu for that very informative content!
😊
Your video is a great example of how to present information clearly and concisely. Well done!
I love how it went from "They don't sponsor me bc Apparently I make too many jokes." to "they [the clients] don't give a fuck about the work we did"

@@walterwhite003 Ahhh gotcha. Enjoy while you can, and when you feel like you're ready, get back on the job search saddle 😁
This is no small changes. They’re on point🎉 Thanks for sharing! Would like to learn more about structured problem solving!

Great video Jeff! Thanks for the shout out 👍
Anytime Paul! Thanks for creating such awesome content for us working professionals! I wish your channel existed when I just joined the workforce 😂

No problem 😁
Need to make a big-a presentation, and wasn't sure how to approach it - you're video helped tremendously! Thank you
Woohooo best of luck!
that was a masterclass, thank you Jeff!
Glad I was able to deliver masterclass-level value in 8 minutes!
Oh man, 5:00 really rings true!
Painfully* true 😅

Haha thanks for the tip! Will do!
Another banger by Jeff Su
I'd like to think so!!!
0:13 #shotsfired
It's true though
What software do you use to make the videos? Is there any 3rd party software for the things like the transitions and zooming/panning etc? Keep up the good work!
You can find all my gear here: www.jeffsu.org/gear/
Yet another good video!!!
Woohooo thanks!
Hi Jeff, big fan of your work! First of all, sorry if I make any english mistakes.
Can you explain the ocasion to use the SCQA or the pyramid principle? Because, if I undestand correctly, one says to start with the conclusion and the other to start with the situation. How do I put them together?
SCQA when you structure your entire presentation, Pyramid principle for the "answer" portion
6:56 does this color coding apply across cultures?
Good question! Interestingly enough I know for a fact it doesn't because in China usually red = good.
But since my primary audience is in the US I kept that example in 😁
Jeff is here to help us again . . . .
I'm at your service 😁
Hi Jeff, I do have a question regarding using the SQCA and Pyramid Principle in my workflow.
I have a weekly report wherein I have to report on the operational health of the team. I have to list their metrics week-on-week. How do I incorporate the SQCA framework with this? And how do I then use the pyramid principle?
Would an SQCA like this work?
Situation: Team is doing well
Question: How well is the team doing
Complication: Here are the low performers/problems that occured this week
Answer: What I'm gonna do to solve this
Pro tip: Not everything needs to incorporate the SCQA principle. If the goal of your report is to give an update on the stats week-on-week, just be as concise as possible 😁
quality stuff! subscribed
Thank you!! And welcome my friend 😁
Great video, thanks
You're very welcome Wendy 😁
These tips are great!
Glad to hear it!
What's the font recommended to use for these slides? Also is there a template resource you can share?
Fonts rarely matter all that much! It's more about storytelling 😁
dude you are good
I think so too 😉
They are basically using the movie industry storytelling framework
Ah did you watch Analyst Academy's video as well
@@JeffSu not yet
Good stuff
Thank you 😁
Hey! Video is amazing! Just out of curiosity, from where do you get all these amazing assets/graphics you use in your videos?
