So you've drunk the Kool-Aid and you subscribe to the idea that your presentations need to "tell a story" and "be more visual." But how exactly do move beyond bullet points when your marketing content is dense and data-driven? How do you translate dry and sometimes dull information into something that's compelling to your audience?

Surprisingly, you won't find the solution in inspirational books, pretty pictures, or fancy tools. When you get back to the basics and focus on the structure of the information you present, you'll find a new way to lay the groundwork for a clean and clear storyboard that will deliver the story and visuals you want.

Presenter

Cliff Atkinson is an acclaimed writer, popular keynote speaker, and an independent consultant to leading attorneys and Fortune 500 companies. He designed the presentations that helped persuade a jury to award a $253 million verdict to the plaintiff in the nation's first Vioxx trial in 2005, which Fortune magazine called "frighteningly powerful."

Cliff's bestselling book Beyond Bullet Points (Microsoft Press, 2007) was named a Best Book of 2007 by the editors of Amazon.com, and it expands on a communications approach he has taught at many of the country's top law firms, government agencies, business schools and corporations, including Sony, Toyota, Nestlé, Nokia, Nationwide, Deloitte, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Intel, Microsoft and the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal.

"This is a great seminar about how to build better structure into your presentations."

"It provided fresh concepts and ideas for not just PowerPoint slide design, but delivery and handouts."

"This is a great summary of what you need to do to get the brain to pay attention. Recommend this along with Presentation Zen and Slide:ology if you need to make presentations that stick."
