The example I love using is the following... Imagine going to a Michelin star restaurant. You having an amazing chef (YOU) preparing the best food in the kitchen. If the chef just throws the food all over the plate, would the customer (YOUR MANAGER) appreciate the amazing food prepared? It come's down to the way it's presented. Content is important - absolutely. However the way we present it is more important. 1. Try focus on 3 key points per slide. 2. Utilize previous templates. 3. Use simple charts, graphs or stats to help land your message better. Less is more ;)

For me, I’m not working to impress anyone. I simply do my job with passion. If I get promoted, that’s great. If not, I’ll look for another opportunity where I feel more valued and appreciated.

Just to impress manager, "skills" required can't be discussed here :). However for quick visuals, use AI (Artificial intelligence)

Staying focused on the purpose and end goal of the presentation is most important. Having a full grip on the content and the messages is more crucial than some imported data points or visuals to make it look rich without any meaningful context. Presentation is an art which means it doesn’t have a prescribed definition of wow, for some audience it could be keeping it as simple as possible while for some it’s appreciated as elaborated as it could be. The bottomline is that as long as the audience enjoys and engages to every second of it and is eager to have you present again or what you’ve got under the sleeve next, consider the job as done beautifully. A perfect analogy would a movie which is expected to have a sequel.
