Bio

Nicolas Randall is Adjunct Professor of Storytelling at IE. Frequently recognised for teaching excellence, Nicolas was awarded Best Professor in 2024.

Nicolas is a TED speaker and has given hundreds of talks worldwide on storytelling, persuasion and communication.

Over a five year period he lived and worked in over 20 different countries conducting political and business interviews at the highest level. In this capacity he has met Hillary Clinton, George Soros and Benyamin Netanyahu, amongst others, and through these interviews he developed a good understanding of how to effectively communicate a story, and sometimes how not to! Nicolas transferred this knowledge into a visual sphere by creating a publishing company specialising in photography that produces books on commission for a range of multi-nationals and governments. More recently he has been closely involved in the start up space by creating two start ups, one housed within Wayra and working as a visual storytelling mentor for many other start ups. He lectures on presenting and storytelling as well as consulting leaders and speakers on effective communication.

Nicolas is author of “Be A Presenter God”, available on Amazon.

Pitching: The art of persuasion

All presentations should have the goal of selling: even if it’s just the speaker’s own point of view. In this workshop we will use the framework of pitching to learn how to convince our audience or almost anything.
Participants will work together in small groups to create a pitch using the techniques shown for an awful idea. The challenge is to try to sell the impossible,

The Art of Public Speaking

Good communication requires oratorical and rhetorical skills.
Experience helps, but is insufficient to master these skills.
In this workshop we look at the practical and theoretical skills needed to become a polished speaker.
In this workshop participants will deliver short speeches to the
audience, be filmed doing so, and then shown their performances in order to better understand where they can improve.

Mastering PowerPoint

PowerPoint can become a deadly weapon in the wrong hands! Here we will learn how to create slides that actually enhance our talk, rather than distract from it.
Although PowerPoint is specifically discussed most techniques are applicable to any presentation software.
In this workshop participants will create a short presentation on. A specific theme using the techniques discussed.
