10 Secrets of Virtual Storytelling

A Guide To Help You Give Better Online Presentations

COVID-19 has attacked many weaknesses in the world and it continues to cause chaos and disruption everywhere, but as many of us are confined to working in our home offices, I have noticed another weakness that Coronavirus it is exposing – our ability (or lack of) to give presentations virtually.

 

So for the first time ever, I have recorded an extended seminar in my home office, sharing a collection of the best pieces of communications advice I have picked up from some of the best speakers in the world about virtual storytelling.

 

Anyway, I just thought it might be helpful to share with you some tips I have found for building your confidence, bringing data to life, telling better stories faster – and more importantly, connecting with whatever audience is at the other side of that tiny little camera.

 

 

I uploaded the slides here if you want to take a closer look.
