This course is not about delivery, which to be successful is largely dependent on the quality of the material. You will learn about the process of designing your presentation so that is has a proper start and end, and lots of meaningful and memorable content in-between. You will learn how to set a standard for appearance and content, think visually so the audience will remember, and prepare a ’Story Board’ for your presentation so you avoid a collection of unrelated slides.
