Engage and inspire your audience.
For those who have tried to build compelling presentations, you know it’s not an easy feat. Maybe your mind goes blank when you sit down to generate ideas. Or maybe you struggle to organize fragmented thoughts into a cohesive message.
Either way, you’re tired of seeing your presentations fall flat. So, if you want to get better at persuasive visual communication, where do you start?
The most persuasive presentations in the world today combine a compelling story with visual story design. VisualStory® gives you the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of both narrative and visuals in a consolidated format. This interactive workshop is built on the principles in Nancy Duarte’s best-selling books, Slide:ology® and Resonate®.

Course overview
This course is not just about creating visual content; it’s about becoming a skilled visual storyteller who can convey complex ideas with emotional connection.
Workshop agenda
A great presentation starts with understanding your audience by employing empathy. Learn what they want, and need, before you even begin.
Visual storytelling is just as important as narrative storytelling. Learn persuasive techniques to incorporate into your presentation to keep it engaging and supportive of your narrative.
Choosing visuals is both an art and a science. Learn best practices on when to employ visuals, and how to discern the best mediums, for your next presentation.
You’ve picked your visuals, now it’s time to learn a bit about design principles. Learn common mistakes that make slides too cluttered or too busy so you can make a standout presentation, every time!
