It will also provide you with simple but powerful strategies based on neuroscience, to dramatically increase the receptivity of your audience.

The session will cover the basics of managing your material, your audience, and your technology. You'll come away even more confident that you can develop and deliver a dynamic presentation on any virtual platform.

Why you should Attend

Giving a presentation can be a daunting challenge in and of itself. When you combine that will the complexity of using virtual platforms it's even more difficult.

Virtual learning is not the same as "in-person" learning. If you don't understand the differences, it will be hard to gain and maintain an audience's attention. And even if you can gain their attention a lack of familiarity with some basic properties of neuroscience will make it almost impossible for the content of your virtual presentation to be retained.

Developing the wrong type of PowerPoints, incorrectly modulating your voice and failing to inject sustained audience engagement are just a few of the pitfalls most untrained virtual presenters encounter.
