M15 / The human connection: Presenting powerfully with graphics
(In-Depth Session)

Date: Monday, 27 June
Time: 1:30 – 3:45 pm
Track: Skills Development

If you want your audience to sit up and take notice, you’ve got to deliver an outstanding presentation with graphic detail. This hands-on session will demonstrate how using the right graphics in the right way will help you connect with your audience and maximize your impact.

Through discussion, theater exercises and individual coaching, you will learn to:

• Tell your story first, in rehearsal, without graphics
• “Build” your visuals by revealing them to your audience bit by bit
• Create images that support your presentation but don’t overtake it
