A good presentation is a great career move
As Steve Jobs once put it, people who know what they are talking about don’t need PowerPoint.
However, many if not most courses on presentations focus on slides instead of speaking, style instead of substance.
In the corporate world, the expenses for an event or conference can be enormous, but how much bang for the buck is there if little is spent to train the speakers to be engaging and effective.
On this conference you learn how to channel Aristotle’s ideas on great speaking.
You’ll be amazed at how speakers from Ted Talks use the same techniques.
And you’ll finish the session with knowledge, ability, and the confidence that you can be a great speaker.
Our goal is to teach a purpose: engage, inform, inspire.
Speakers with a purpose almost always do far better than speakers with a plan.
At all levels of expertise, the conference is designed around learning activities and practice.
We love good speeches and get excited about helping people to learn to give engaging, informative and inspiring presentations.
