Training, sales, administrative, human resources, education, leadership, middle management, executive — if you are creating presentation content, you can probably be doing it better, and we will provide insight into the three main tenets of presentation crafting:
Most people handle messaging backward: they focus on their own virtues without showing regard for the audience’s interests and concerns. And few who come to presentation do so from a background in the arts. Yet we are asked to design presentations, often on a daily basis.
Truly advanced PowerPoint users are few and far between, but not because the program is exceptionally difficult; just the opposite. The software is so easy to start using, not many go below the surface to learn the program’s finer points. You will get to do that at this workshop.

If you are in any of these categories, you will find enormous value in joining us Apr 19-20. This four-hour workshop (plus two-hour QA the following day) is your unique opportunity to become extraordinary in your presentation work. (Attendance limited to 75.)
These seminars are conducted presentation-style — meticulously prepared and professionally paced so users of all levels can follow. While we recognize the limitations of the virtual medium, we will reach deep into our well of experience on virtual audience engagement to make sure you feel acknowledged, included, and heard.
Patrons are encouraged to send files to us ahead of time so that Rick might include them in our curriculum as a makeover or a point of discussion. That type of work is often billed in the high-three and low-four figures, but any slide makeovers performed at this workshop are at no extra charge.
Here is what you will learn and be able to implement right away:
Rick has been hired by hundreds, listened to by tens of thousands, and read by millions, all of whom seek better results with presentation content and delivery. An early adopter of virtual learning, he has been leading virtual workshops for nearly 10 years. He hosts the internationally acclaimed Presentation Summit, largely responsible for the global community of presentation professionals that thrives today.
An avid sportsman, he was not a good enough tennis player to play on the professional tour. All of this was his Plan B.
