From Data to Dialogue: 5 Steps to Transform Numbers into Narratives in Presentations

I looked around the crowded ballroom and saw people starting to nod off. Sure, the open bar probably played a role and so did the open buffet dinner. But the real culprit stood behind a tall, wooden podium droning on about EBITA, GAAP, KPI’s, and ROIs. While they are...

How to Handle the Person Who Disrupts Your Presentation

He had red hair, a tightly groomed beard, a ponytail and I knew three minutes into the presentation he was going to be trouble if I let him. His name was Alex. He was what I call The Disrupter: the person in the audience of a presentation who loves to interject...

Let your audience know where you’re going

A few weeks ago, while I was sitting at a stop sign, I white Nissan Rogue approached from my left. As the car got closer, I could see the driver, a 20-something year old with a mop of brown. He wore ear buds and glanced his eyes down at a cellphone. He was close...

Client Testimonials

My first presentation to a customer after learning Presentation Transformation resulted in a major WIN.  The training really paid off.  It was surprisingly easy to incorporate the approach and storytelling into a complex sales presentation.

Virginia Jeffrey

Project Manager, Whiting-Turner

I really enjoyed the entire program, and found participating very valuable. I’m “new” in a variety of ways – new to the organization, new to this kind of role – so I have had to get pretty comfortable being uncomfortable. For me, the practicality of the method you taught us was refreshing. So often, especially in this industry, most training is jargon-heavy, theory-heavy, etc. and it was so nice to be able to absorb the method and then apply it easily.

Julie Good

Product Manager, Blue Cross, Blue Shield

I give quarterly town hall sessions with all our employees (700+). The story approach Gerry teaches allows me to adapt to the audience and grab them with something they relate. The stories Gerry’s approach helps me craft helps my people understand why we have to operate a business running at Mach 1 vs: 80 mph—and how to do it! The program concepts are awesome and easy to apply!
