Storydesign English

The majority of presentations are somewhat dull and uninteresting. Why? Because when professionals create a presentation they add their information chronologically and then send it out. The Americans refer to this as ‘The Real Estate Tour’. “On the left you can see the bathroom, on the right you’ll find the bedroom, and if you keep walking you’ll come to the guest bedroom”. The presenter sums up all the relevant points in chronological order while showing overfilled slides that double up with the story. He knows that it is dull and uninteresting but has no idea how to do things differently.

Besides the fact that a chronological summary is irritating for an audience, it also leads to another problem that is actually far worse. Research has shown that persuasion occurs according to a predetermined psychological flow. Those who fail to incorporate this process are missing an important influential element.

During the training Storydesign English we introduce you to the psychological principles of persuasion. We show you how to design your story around this process and how to design cohesive and convincing presentations that leave a lasting impression. You will learn to work with a super handy note-taking technique that helps you to create interesting and appealing presentations. The effect of this is that your audience will understand you, be captivated and be convinced.
