This six-hour seminar will reframe the way you think and dramatically improve your next presentation!

Whether you’re in business, academics, research or a non-profit, you have a message to get across that needs to resonate with your audience. There are plenty of classes about how to use PowerPoint or Keynote, but this is not one of those. In fact, you won’t touch a keyboard at all. Garr and Nancy will debunk popular presentation beliefs and teach award-winning techniques that will radically change your approach. This seminar will transform you into a creative thinker and change the way you prepare, design, and deliver your next presentation.
