Stuart helps speakers to prioritize the most important improvement areas and to make actionable progress against those and he does that with an infectious enthusiasm and positive attitude.

Stuart has an incredible skill of taking complex ideas and helping you distill them into stories that are accessible, visceral, and encourage action. Helpful for anyone looking to deliver a message and mission.

Stuart’s mastery is witnessed by his ability to teach anybody how to tell their story. If you’re a student, professor, entrepreneur, researcher, business professional—it doesn’t matter.

Who This Is For

You’ve mastered the basics; business updates, new idea pitches, project reports – child’s play. Now it’s time to level up your skills to be ready for the big time. Getting ready to address the board of directors? Giving a Keynote in front of 1,000 people? Time to update your shareholders? This course is for you.

Outcomes

Become a masterful presenter to:

Amplify your message - Emphasize what’s most important
Deepen the narrative - Connect the dots with the audience and speak to shared values, goals, and outcomes
Handle questions like a pro - No question is too tough; everything they throw at you, you handle with grace and ease, no sweat
Open your presentation in a way that makes people pay attention and bring it all together for the close, mic drop

How It Works

Craft power openers and closers that you can use and repurpose for impact
Tune into the science of why stories “stick” and inspire people to act
Prepare for objections by “red teaming” your assumptions
Captivate with closers that leave people thinking about your message long after you’ve left the stage
