The Virtual Learning Experience

Live, Facilitated, and Built Around Real Work

Creating Memorable Presentations Anywhere is designed as an interactive live-online experience. Participants work directly with a facilitator while developing a presentation idea that is relevant to their own work.

01

Join the Live Classroom

Participants connect through Zoom or another requested virtual platform and take part in live, facilitator-led instruction.

02

Bring a Real Presentation Idea

Each participant begins with a presentation topic they can develop during the program, ideally one connected to their actual work.

03

Apply Each Technique

Participants apply the planning process, storytelling, audience dialogue, visuals, and handout techniques directly to that presentation.

04

Develop the Presentation

By the end of the program, participants have worked through the major elements of the presentation and created a more structured, audience-focused message.

Small-group virtual format The program is limited to 10 participants with one facilitator, helping preserve interaction and application in the live online environment.
A Practical Development Process

From Idea to Complete Presentation

Participants move step by step from an initial presentation idea to a more organized, persuasive, and audience-focused message supported by stories, dialogue, visuals, handouts, and a concise briefing format.

01
Understand the Audience

Consider the audience, presentation environment, purpose, and desired outcome before building the message.

02
Clarify the Core Message

Identify the central idea the audience should understand, remember, or act on when the presentation is complete.

03
Build the Storyboard

Organize the beginning, middle, supporting information, summary, call to action, and benefit into a logical presentation structure.

04
Add Stories & Dialogue

Use business storytelling to strengthen key points and plan questions that create meaningful interaction with the audience.

05
Develop Visuals & Handouts

Determine where visuals and supporting materials add value, then develop samples that reinforce the message rather than distract from it.

06
Create a Briefing Version

Adapt the completed presentation into a shorter briefing format for situations where the audience has less time.

Give your team a repeatable process for building stronger presentations. Participants apply each stage to a presentation idea connected to their real work while receiving live facilitator guidance throughout the virtual program.

What Participants Learn

Build Stronger Presentations From the Ground Up

Participants learn a practical process for shaping the message, organizing the content, engaging the audience, and creating the visual and supporting materials that strengthen a business presentation.

Plan a Persuasive Presentation

Define the audience, environment, purpose, core message, and desired outcome before developing the presentation.

Build a Strong Beginning, Middle & End

Use titles, attention grabbers, storyboarding, supporting information, summaries, calls to action, and benefits to create a clear presentation structure.

Use Storytelling Strategically

Explore why stories engage audiences and apply a business storytelling method built around Story, Meaning, and Application.

Plan for Dialogue

Prepare questions to ask the audience and anticipate the questions audience members may ask during the presentation.

Create Better Visuals & Handouts

Determine when visual support adds value, apply practical visual guidelines, and develop supporting materials that reinforce the message.

Turn a Presentation Into a Briefing

Reduce a full presentation into a concise briefing format for situations where the audience has less time.

The emphasis is on creating the presentation, not simply creating slides. Participants work across message structure, storytelling, dialogue, visuals, handouts, and briefing development so the individual pieces support one clear presentation strategy.
Learn By Building

Work on a Real Presentation During Creating Memorable Presentations Anywhere

Participants come to the virtual classroom with a presentation idea related to their work and develop it throughout the program as each new concept is introduced.

Real Work. Practical Application.

The presentation becomes the learning lab.

Rather than working only with generic examples, participants apply the planning process directly to a presentation that matters to them. Each activity adds another layer to the message and supporting materials.

Presentation ideas might include: A product update, annual objectives, a recommendation for a new policy, a request for project approval, or another job-related presentation.

Start With a Real Topic

Participants begin with a job-related presentation idea that can be developed throughout the live online program.

Shape the Message

Apply the planning process to clarify the audience, purpose, core message, desired outcome, and presentation structure.

Add the Supporting Elements

Develop stories, audience questions, visuals, and handouts that support the presentation and strengthen the message.

Adapt It for a Briefing

Finish by reducing the full presentation into a concise briefing format for situations where the audience has less time.

Bring your team’s actual presentation challenges into the virtual classroom. Participants build skills while working on presentation content they can use beyond the training session.

Designed for Live Online Learning

Everything Participants Need for the Virtual Classroom

The Anywhere format is built for live, facilitator-led learning rather than passive online training. A reliable setup and distraction-free environment help participants stay engaged and work effectively on their presentation throughout the program.

The program is delivered through Zoom unless another virtual platform is requested by the client. Participants work together in a live online environment across six facilitator-led segments.

Computer Participants should use a desktop, laptop, or 2-in-1 computer. Smartphones and tablets are not recommended for the program.
Camera & Audio A working camera plus microphone and speakers are needed to participate fully in the live virtual classroom.
Internet Connection Participants should have access to a stable, high-speed internet connection that can support live video and audio.
Work Environment A private, non-distracting location is recommended so participants can stay engaged in the live instruction and exercises.
Applications Participants should have Adobe Reader along with presentation and word-processing applications available for course activities.
Course Materials Participants should redeem their digital course key before class and have sticky notes available for program exercises.
Prepare before the session.

Participants should verify their technology and learning environment in advance and, when Zoom is being used, install and test the platform before the program begins.
