Telling Your Story© - Presentation Skills

Outcome: Improve the ability of any presenter to persuasively inspire audiences to action.

Skills Taught: Unlike the “Hollywood” version of Story Telling, Louws instead embraced the story telling fundamentals of contemporary and compelling masterpieces such as American Political Drama and Thrillers, House of Cards and Scandal with liberal sprinklings of insights from British Period Dramas such as Downton Abbey, Doctor Who and Spooks.

The genius of Blackadder and Monty Python is also incorporated while tapping into the brilliance of American Television Dramatic writers such as David Chase of Sopranos fame, Michael Crichton’s ER and Alan Ball’s Six Feet Under.

When it came to packaging a presentation, we spent most of the past 5 years investigating how 5 of the top 7 business consultancies present to their clients.

We were continually told by these clients (many our own brand clients) that they considered them “best practice” presenters. These included McKinsey, Bain, Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton & PWC.

Essentially, we figured out a way to take the artistry of Story Telling and unify it with Logical Persuasion.
