Learn how to build a strong narrative, so that people are compelled to listen to you, and each idea builds on the last one.
What you’ll learn
- Start with structure: work out the order before designing the slides
- Build a strong argument: apply a hidden logic to the structure that your audience buys into
- Hold their attention: design the presentation for listening, not reading
Description
The secret-sauce of a persuasive presentation isn’t your charisma: it’s the structure. To persuade people, don’t start with the slides.
Figure out a strong narrative, so that people are compelled to listen to you, and each idea builds on the last one. You don’t need a PhD in storytelling to win buy-in or endless rehearsals: just simple frameworks that help you avoid overloading your audience with too much information. Say less to persuade more.
