+ Getting unstuck when it comes to presentations
+ How to identify “why” you’re presenting
+ The secret to great presentations 
+ Thinking about your presentation as a moment of sell

Step 02 — Start with your audience

Your audience is the single most important part of your presentation. When you’re meaningful and relevant, they’re engaged and ready to act. Remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them. In this step, you learn: 

+ Why it’s important to focus on your audience
+ Skills for empathy and personas
+ Effective questions to ask
+ How to map your audience journey

Step 03 — Build a Blueprint

+ The mistakes of PowerPoint and presentation visuals 
+ How to specifically structure the first and last minute of any talk

Step 05 — Think strategically about your performance 
You’re standing on stage or in front of the camera. Now what? Now you unleash your super authentic, rehearsed self to create confidence and connection. In this step, you learn:

+ How to determine your presentation persona
