Course Description

Overview

Craft a great message. Your audience will remember.

The heart of a great presentation is what you say and how you say it. In this 1-hour class, presentation expert Scott Schwertly provides straightforward talk on how to organize and craft content that is memorable, persuasive, and perfect for any audience. From concepts like "the one-word theme" to the 5 classic story frameworks that work in every business presentation, the class has totally changed the way we prepare for a talk of any size. Don't start slides without it.

Learn by doing.

You can choose to revise the content from a previous presentation, start brand new, or speak to a subject that's important to your work, interests, or creative pursuits. After this class, you'll have a solid foundation for designing an actual slide deck.
