Steve Bezos banned presentations in meetings. Why? 

30 million presentations are delivered everyday worldwide but most of them fail to connect with their audience. This is because they don’t speak the same language that your audience’s brain does. 

Presentations are commonly used in internal and external communication and becoming an expert delivering presentations that persuade and convince your audience is a must-have skill a lot of recruiters and managers seek in new candidates. 

In this Masterclass you will learn why current presentation techniques, inherited from the past, don’t work in today’s frenetic business world. You will learn the trends and techniques to apply in your next presentation to engage and persuade your audience like never before.
