"If everyone in the room agreed with you, you wouldn't need to do a presentation, would you? … the reason we do presentations is to make a point, to sell one or more ideas."- Seth Godin Author/ Marketer



Persuasion is the most needed soft skill in the workplace. The ability to influence your audience and have them agree, approve, and align is key to leading teams and organizations, negotiating with clients, and pitching your ideas.



This workshop will empower and enable you to design, develop, and deliver powerfully persuasive presentations. From brainstorming to body language, we will touch on all the essential skills, techniques and findings from ancient times to modern neuroscience.



Storytelling, Persuasion Theory, Rhetorical techniques, and more! Participants will get personal trainer feedback on how to quickly improve, build confidence, and change hearts and minds!
