About this class

Whether you're interviewing for a job, giving a presentation at work, pitching investors, or simply leading a meeting, the way you tell your story matters. Constructing a good outline and polishing your presentation - from story cadence to body language - makes a difference and lead to positive outcomes.

In this class, learn how to best communicate ideas and win your audiences. From pitches to everyday presentations, storytelling is one of the most effective ways to clearly articulate an argument and get the message across effectively.

This class will cover the following topics and will be supported by case studies and/or specific examples of innovations that were very successful or completely screwed up:

  • What is a story?
  • Structuring your story: the three act structure
  • Setting the scene(s): presentation techniques and their roles
  • Characters in the story and outside it: creating meaningful interactions
  • Establishing credibility with your audiences
  • The scenes: connecting your slides into a seamless narrative
  • Vide and Imagery: effective usage
  • Dialogue: looking and sounding natural
  • Valuable tips

Takeaways

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding about structuring powerful narratives and a storytelling checklist ensuring impeccable presentations.
