Presentation Fundamentals (aka Savvy Storytelling)

If there is any tool that can dramatically improve any presentation, it is good structure and order. An applause-winning presentation begins with a clear, logical, and strong structure. 

Much more than mere basics

Story structure, arc, and narrative seem like a drop in the ocean of presentation building. But my long-year experience has taught me that mastering their use is the most cost-effective lesson for speakers at any level:

  • Giving you a sense of where and how to begin constructing your presentation, and how to continue from there. All other steps will follow logically - no more unorganized thoughts or gruelingly staring at your screen waiting for inspiration. 
  • Making your thinking process clearer - filtering out noises and redundancies.
  • It will automatically improve your ability to write accurate content - reaching the right conclusion, putting the correct emphasis, and staying on track.
  • Boost your self-confidence - having control over the presentation rather than it having power over you.  
  • Making you more comfortable in improvising and making adjustments while presenting live.
  • Turning your main message memorable and impactful

This lecture offers an orderly and practical method for organizing your presentation, no matter what your topic or level of experience you have.
