Presentation Masterclass: Design and Deliver Unforgettable Presentations (Video Course)

Description

3+ Hours of Video Instruction

Learn simple secrets for impressing your audience, creating effective presentations, and getting your message across.

Overview:

Many people find public speaking to be anxiety-inducing. This fear prevents them from giving a compelling presentation, which only reinforces their belief that they are terrible at speaking in public.

Anyone--not just professionals--can speak easily and effectively in public; you just need to learn how.

In this course, veteran television producer and director Larry Jordan uses real-life examples to explain the simple and time-tested techniques for improving and perfecting your presentation skills. You'll discover how to successfully overcome the fear of public speaking and how to present yourself on stage, in person, or virtually. Then, you'll learn how to use readily available design tools to make your slide presentation pop off the screen to keep your audience's attention and clearly articulate your message, without distracting from you as the speaker. Finally, you'll watch as Larry shows you how to pull it all together to create and deliver a powerful presentation.

This video is comprised of three Modules covering how to plan, design, and present a presentation that accomplishes your goals. Here's what each module covers:

Module 1: Planning the Presentation

Module 2: Designing the Presentation
