Presentations with Storytelling
Presentation skills and storytelling training
“I engage my audience much more when I present my reports.”
Slides packed with information, data without a story and an audience looking at their phones. The problem is almost never PowerPoint: it’s the message. In this course, you’ll learn to lead with the key point, turn data into a story and hold the room’s attention from start to finish.

- Directors and managers presenting results
- Sales teams presenting proposals
- Engineers and technical professionals explaining complex ideas to other teams
What will you practise?

- 2. Speak clearly – A Clear, Powerful Headline, Zoom out > in, Long story short and Like Cannelloni: lead with the key point and explain complex ideas in order.
- 3. Stories beat stats – Data storytelling: turn a table of figures into a message people remember. Magic Phrases that make your words stick.
- 4. What you say without words – Voice, pauses, tone and gestures: the credibility you convey before you say a word.
- 5. Handle uncertainty – PPF and STEAL for improvisation, plus techniques for answering tough questions without losing control.
