PowerPoint Narrative Training uses a story-based method of creating content. As former professional actors, we use the Three-Act Structure of drama to demonstrate how to powerfully align stories and visuals to crystallize your ideas. Narrative and visuals are then complimentary, and move listeners to action more dramatically than bullet-heavy PowerPoint decks.
Curtain Up! – The Workshop’s Structure
Act I: Setting up Your Story
Act II: Developing the Action
Act III: Resolving the Problem or Challenge
Workshop participants create their own narrative-based PowerPoint presentations in real time then present them with videotaping and critiques from instructor and peers. PowerPoint Narrative Training is thus a highly interactive approach to PowerPoint skills, featuring hands-on activities and videotaped practice. Each participant takes away a customized DVD of the PowerPoint presentation they have built and presented.
PowerPoint Performance Skills
Presentations on Fire! ™ – PowerPoint Narrative Training also features a revolutionary system for performance-based PowerPoint skills. We’ll help you build in emotional components that persuade and move customers and stakeholders. You’ll discover an entirely new framework of PowerPoint that fosters engagement and enjoyment in your listeners, as you deliver your critical messages more dramatically and eloquently.
PowerPoint Training is not a seminar on slide design. It is an invitation to create an extraordinary audience experience. If your business depends upon PowerPoint to influence stakeholders, you need to discover the tools and methods of this groundbreaking workshop.
