Balanced Presentations
1-1.5 DAY COURSE • 6 STUDENT MINIMUM • 12 STUDENT MAXIMUM
OVERVIEW
Technical presentations can quickly overload an audience with information causing them to tune out and walk away with little learned. In this one-day workshop focused on information-heavy presentations, students will discover it’s all about the meaning of the data, not the data itself.
Through engaging activities participants will learn to simplify messages, change things up, ensure the audience is understanding, and of course let their personalities shine instead of being hidden behind the data. These ideas will then be applied to their actual business presentations for individual coaching and filming.
