Presentation on Presentations: Changed for Good!

Description

Great slide presentations—and great speakers—engage their audiences. They’re entertaining, they’re dynamic, they tell stories. And most important, they effectively convey the idea or information that the presenter wants the audience to get. Here’s why they work: those presentations don’t look anything like the charts and graphs and word-heavy, bullet-pointed, slide presentations that you’re used to seeing! The pace is different, the focus is different, and the visual content is vastly different.

In this groundbreaking and provocative session, you’ll learn to use a method of slide presentation called “slides as chorus,” that will put your presentations into an entirely new class, where people will sit up and take notice of what you have to say, and where you’ll truly reach their hearts and minds!
