About this Event
Even the most experienced presenters can lose their audience to mental checkout and the demands of a busy work schedule.
The antidote is to first design and then deliver a session that will fully engage the minds, bodies, hearts, and spirits of your audience. During our event we will share stories, tips, and techniques that can help you create meaningful presentations with real results. You will have the opportunity to apply the concepts so you can implement them back at work right away.
You will learn…
- Why engaging not only the mind, but ALSO the body, heart and spirit creates real learning
- Specific ways to engage each of the four elements
- How to apply this approach to your content—no matter what it is
