They laughed, they cried, they blogged it.
Can a PowerPoint business presentation be riveting? Can a tech manual be a page-turner? Keep them glued to their Aerons using story structures from Hollywood. In this workshop, you’ll map your presentation, nonfiction book, or even a user guide into a compelling three-act story template.
Topics include better beginnings, story “beats,” transitions, keeping attention, rhythm and pacing, mind-mapping, finding/creating/using visuals, the three-act storyboard, making it memorable, the “oh cool, oh s*” technique, mind-mapping, idea-generation tricks, the killer climax, and more.
Bring a topic you’d like to communicate, and leave with a complete, high-level storyboard. This is an extremely high-participation workshop, but in a supportive low-stress environment.
