Overview of all-day Course (9.30 - 4.30)

Want to do talks that impress? That better achieve your outcomes? That are professional and credible? That get your messages across faster and save your audience's time? And yet which take far less time to prepare? Want perhaps also to break that PowerPoint addiction? 

Find out how in this immensely practical Course that's for anyone that presents. It transforms not just the rarefied "big idea" talks done by CEOs and Keynote Speakers, but also the day-to-day talks that the rest of us do, such as:

- The regular monthly presentation
- The "lunch & learn" to the company on what your unit does   
- The project update to the Board     
- The sales pitch to potential clients
- The training session for staff  

We even look at slides that never get shown on screen but which are simply emailed out - people often call them "decks", so we see how to deck up your decks.

Whatever your type of talk, this Course will transform it.

What you will learn

1.  Your messages, part 1: how to make them memorable
2.  Your messages, part 2: how to make them persuasive
3.  Themes: how to turn isolated points into a riveting talk
4.  Slide design: tips for great-looking slides
5.  Visuals: why most visuals fail; how to ensure yours don't  
6.  "Slides as Documents": how to do fantastic decks
7.  Handouts: handouts that help, not hinder
8.  Presenting: quick ideas to help relax, engage, and more

En route, we quickly pop many myths of presenting ("never have more than three points on a slide"; "use visuals to make your talk impactful"; "93% of your impact comes not from what you say but how you say it"; "show a new slide every two minutes"; and many, many more). And we replace these trite 'rules' with grown-up thinking.
 
Also, you learn the Slide Rule, my new outcome-achieving time-saving approach that does for slides what WiT does for documents: it transforms them. With WiT, you'll never look at a bullet in the same way - and with the Slide Rule, you'll never look at talks in the same way.

And you'll do talks that are... well, great.

Note: this is not a computing Course. Rather, it's about what you should do when preparing for a talk, not how to do it on a computer.

The benefits of attending

The next time you give a talk, you better achieve your outcomes. You save time. You impress. So sign up now and, in just one day, learn the skills and techniques for fantastic talks.
