Who's it for?
Why the topic is important
Every meeting or presentation is an opportunity for change. For the marketer or agency, they have the chance to prepare and deliver a fresh idea. And their audience has the chance to leave the room at the end, having had their thinking changed in a way that is useful to them. The ease with which we can communicate with each other online places a greater emphasis on the moments when we meet. How do you create a successful meeting or presentation where everyone can contribute and leave with value? How do you prepare, perform and build your personal confidence to enable you to do this?
