How to present better as a leader
The ‘From Specialist to Strategist’ webinar series aims to empower experts to lead, by bridging the gap from technical mastery to strategic leadership.
In this episode, Matthias Feist and I enjoyed speaking with Andy Churchill, founder of ‘www.presentbetter.org.’
Andy deep-dives on what presenters need to consider to connect and inspire their audiences. As someone who’s taught over 10,000 people in this space, Andy provides key insights on:
1. The training gap in #presentationskills in the education sector.
2. Story telling as a presentation tool.
3. How to use humour effectively in a presentation.
4. How to connect with an audience even when presenting complex technical material.
🎥 Watch the full episode to learn how present well for #leadership success.

      Thanks for the kind feedback. Adding a photo or not depends on the country you're in and the norms in that geography. For example in the UK and North America it's not advisable to add your photo. In other places, like some countries in Asia, it is more common place to include your photo

      Thanks for the question. There's a certain 'style' that's expected for all the documents we produce in pharma. Examples probably illustrate this best: search.slidegeeks.com/powerpoint/Pharmaceutical. ...So use of icons, and graphics to make the information as visually appealing as possible is important. Hope that answers your question okay?

But the recommendation to focuse on the company, not youselves is really critical.
