“Death by PowerPoint” is a cliché phrase because it is usually true. Used poorly, PowerPoint can kill the sale.
You don’t want to be THAT person, do you?
Whether you are an entrepreneur approaching investors, a small business owner explaining your product or service, or a sales professional, you can harness the power of PowerPoint for large or small scale presentations.
Used effectively, PowerPoint can educate buyers and focus prospects on decision-critical factors.
Creating a great PowerPoint presentation is easier than you might think. You don’t need to be a great designer to come up with an engaging presentation. What you do need however, is an understanding of how to capture and direct your prospect’s focus.
In her presentation, you will learn how to structure an audience-centered, logical and persuasive flow. You will discover 4 easy design principles and some simple tips and tricks. You will also learn how you can scale your presentation down from a group presentation to a one-on-one presentation or even share it online.

"Once upon a time": powerful words that begin many oral narratives and indicate that the story to be told will be imbued with magic and myth. Organizational folklore can be a very powerful force for instilling or perpetuating behavior, systems, and culture within an organization.
Too often, fear and negativity are the driving forces in the folklore behind many organizational traditions. A positive narrative that embraces the customs and traditions of a healthy, balanced feedback loop can help jumpstart your DevOps journey. This talk will help you frame your narrative alongside metrics and use folklore as a catalyst for positive change.

Storytelling isn’t just for children! Strategic storytelling in sales, or “storyselling” is a proven way to build trust, boost-buy in and maximize memory to get your message remembered and repeated.
Would you like your message to be remembered and repeated? Would you like to build trust and gain buy-in from all your audiences, from clients to team members to stakeholders? Would you like to feel confident that your presentations engage your listeners?
You can do all that and more with strategic storytelling. Strategic storytelling is nothing new. Scheherazade, the ancient storyteller of 1001 Arabian Nights, beguiled a king and saved her own life and the lives of countless others by telling stories. In our own times, Steve Jobs was a legendary storyteller, who engaged the imaginations of millions with his strategic, engaging storytelling skills—and helped his company make billions of dollars and build a brand mystique while he did it.
