Course Takeaways
-
Connect the Story to the Strategy
Communication should tell the story we need in order to move the audience to decide and act accordingly. Develop a comprehensive strategy for your communication to ensure you achieve your desired result. -
Let the Story Drive the Slides
Slides play an intentional role in directing and holding the audience’s attention. Use the storyboard tool as a device to organize the story and the team.
-
Craft Slides to Promote Understanding
Slides are not merely pages waiting for content. Learn how to make the appropriate trade-offs between using text, concept visuals, tables, and quantitative charts to ensure your message is delivered clearly and persuasively.
