1-Day Kickass Presentations Intensive Course

Course Overview

This course is created, owned, and trained by its original creator, Mr. David Goldwich. Learn from the original creator.

This is an intensive, one-day workshop based on the book Kickass Business Presentations. It is ideal for experienced presenters who don’t have time for a two-day course, or for anyone else who wants to get the most bang for their buck in just one high-impact day.

Do not come to this workshop expecting to do tongue-twisters, breathing exercises, and other time wasters. Instead, you should expect to be challenged with unconventional methods and ideas and stretched beyond your comfort zone.

We will only have time to cover the important stuff, such as how to craft a clear and compelling message and deliver it with surgical precision, how to structure your presentation for maximum impact, and how to connect with your audience and own the room. You will learn how to handle questions and deal with the unexpected without losing control of your agenda.

You will also have the opportunity to deliver a short presentation (with or without slides) and be critiqued (optional but highly recommended).

Bonus!

Learners who attended this workshop will receive a FREE copy of David Goldwich’s book – “Kickass Business Presentations: How to Persuade Your Audience Every Time”
