WORKSHOPS
Our presentation workshops succeed and stick because instead of using off-the-shelf examples, we customize your workshop around one of your actual projects. That enables us to fit your company's culture, but also for attendees to see the methods work in a truly relevant way. What's more, because attendees perform the exercises on a deck they themselves bring in, learning is not only cemented, but they come away with an "after" version and immediate value.
Below are descriptions of our individual workshops. To find out more about them, click on the video to the right.
COURSE 1:
THE DATA-DRIVEN STORY
In this course, presenters bring in their big, chart-filled decks and come away with more simple, clear stories that will truly help their stakeholders. Offered both in-person and online, both can be customized with examples that come straight from your company, not off the shelf, so they’re even more relevant, and learners are even more inspired.
COURSE 2:
THE BIG PRESENTATION
COURSE 3:
THE VALUE PROP STORY
ONE-ON-ONE

the book for anyone who presents
Get to the Heart meets you at your desk, at your project, and at your everyday reality. It then uses movie-style storytelling techniques to help you get out of the weeds and to the heart of what's important. Then, step-by-step, it shows you how to win the hearts of the people you present to, so they not only get your ideas, but get behind them.

ABOUT TED
In decades of working in corporations, I've seen so much great work go to waste and so many smart people lose their sense of purpose - all because their ideas and insights got lost in a clutter of charts.
It broke my heart, so I knew I had to find a better way.
I knew that movies and the way they tell stories - simple, quick, visual, emotional - were everything execs wanted from "storytelling" so I thrust myself into figuring which movie storytelling techniques I could bring to the conference room, and PowerPoint.
I found a ton, and a method people can use for big presentations and for their everyday charts.
Now I get to see those people elevate their slides and presentations to a whole new level, expressing their information with clarity and confidence, and getting the appreciation and buy-in they deserve.
And it fills my heart back up.

Anyone who's seen Ted will tell you that besides bringing a wealth of important information, he also raises the roof. "I have to," he says. "If I'm going to teach people to be the best presenters in their company, I have to set that example. Plus when I'm up there and everyone's captivated, it more than makes up for all the work I put into it."
Ted speaks on "What Hollywood Can Teach Us about Presenting and Powerpoint" in 30 and 60 minute versions. To find out more, email ted@tedfrank.net.
