Resonate™ VirtualWorkshopThe persuasive presentation course

2

You spend weeks gathering information. Quotes, facts, rationale–everything you think you need to make your point.

You spend even more time putting the information onto slides. Then you stand up in that conference room, click through your deck, shake some hands and… thud… nothing happens. Your idea seems to fizzle away, despite your big effort.

Ideas have the potential to create a groundswell but often we give presentations that fail to engage and inspire action. Why? Because we miss the opportunity to use the power of story to move our audiences.

Every Idea Needs a Story

Even if you’ve read the book Resonate, you probably won’t nail your next presentation without some practice. That’s why we emphasize hands-on application in our workshops. Bring your own presentation idea or outline and work on it during class time. We also know variety aids learning, so you can expect to switch between modalities throughout the day.
