Death by Powerpoint or Persuasive Presentations In-Person
Creating Pursuasive & Engaging Presentations
We have all been there before… In a class or a meeting, the presenter is reading text off of densely packed PowerPoint slide after slide. If it isn’t death by PowerPoint, reading text off poorly constructed slides to an audience is a very ineffective way to teach or convey information in a business setting.
In this workshop, we’re going to focus on storytelling and using other best practices so your presentations are engaging and persuasive, and not bore your audience to death by PowerPoint.
If possible, please review the following 6-minute pre-workshop video before you arrive at the workshop: Pre-Workshop Materials
