Presentation Secrets to Inform, Educate, and Persuade

Learn the importance of delivering presentations conversationally to enhance engagement, understanding, and support.

When you deliver a presentation, do your audiences lean in to listen or tune out to text? If people are leaning in, they're engaged. If they're texting, they're not. The greater the level of engagement, the better the ability to achieve business and communication objectives. By attending this course you will gain valuable insights to have your audiences lean in for more. You will learn what the research says about slides and why the current status quo is less than optimal. You will grasp the importance of delivering presentations conversationally to enhance engagement, understanding, and support. And you will know why answering questions is the secret sauce for engaging audiences in ways that help you achieve business and communication results.
