Death by PowerPoint? NO WAY ! Keys to Developing, Engaging, Interactive, and Attention-Grabbing Presentations
 
Keeping your audience hooked can feel like an uphill battle in today’s fast-paced world as decreasing attention spans make it increasingly more difficult to present with impact. It’s not just you — some studies even suggest that goldfish have longer attention spans than humans these days. Even in the goldfish era, you can captivate your audience by conquering the “death by PowerPoint” curse and igniting connection with a compelling narrative. Whether for an introductory pitch meeting or a coveted shortlist presentation, this session will equip you with the skills to structure your presentations to capture (and retain!) your audience’s attention, incorporate storytelling fundamentals with words that persuade and sound like you, design sophisticated slides (even with little to no design experience!) and so much more.
 
Get ready to grab your audience’s attention and never let go!
