Presentation Science - December 2022

Our presentation science approach is based on the important insight that audience members are learners. For you to be successful as a presenter, you need to engage your audience, help them learn to fully comprehend the content, support them to remember what you’ve covered, and enable them to act on what they’ve learned.

Most presenters make fundamental mistakes in how they design their slide interactions. In this online workshop, you’ll learn how to avoid the most common mistakes in presenting and how to create maximally effective presentations, whether you’re presenting face to face or online. You’ll also have a chance to test your understanding by redesigning one of your own set of slides (or an example set if you prefer).

This workshop is open to all and provides benefits to executives, managers, project leads, salespeople, trainers, teachers, and conference speakers.
