7 Deadly Sins of Presentations and Tricks How to Avoid Them

SIMPLE Communication

Want to learn how to speak, present, and write in a way that people actually understand and follow you? The secret you’ve been missing is SIMPLE communication. S.I.M.P.L.E communication, as in Simple, Inclusive, Minimalistic, Pictorial, Leading, and Empathetic. This lecture is a continuation of my TEDx Talk “What Is SIMPLE Communication?” (to be released soon).

Duration: from 15 to 120 minutes.

SIMPLE Communication vs. Storytelling

We all know what storytelling is. It has been a buzzword in recent years. However, storytelling alone does not guarantee mastery of communication. To truly excel in business communication, we need at least two complementary modes:

1) storytelling
2) SIMPLE communication.

What is SIMPLE Communication? It is communication that is structured, inclusive, minimalistic, pictorial, leading, and empathetic (and all these 6 words combine an acronym SIMPLE).

How can we combine these two modes? Can we speak simply and concisely while also building an engaging narrative?

During the presentation, I demonstrate that these seemingly opposing modes can be combined. And it is actually through the combination of these modes that masterful communication is created.

Dead or Alive? Let’s Check Your Presentation’s Vitals

Is your presentation feeling flat? Time to check its vitals. A healthy presentation has specific parameters that can make or break your delivery. If your presentation lacks these key elements, it’ll become another dull, uninspiring, and convoluted talk - even though its content is valuable. Find out how to bring your presentations back to life with elements that create a "wow" factor, brim with energy, and engage your audience in this lecture.

Duration: from a 15-minute presentation to an 8-hour workshop training session.
