Masterclass: Advanced Presentation Skills
From the war room to the boardroom: Get buy-in beyond the presentation and present like a CEO.



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
