WHAT'S IN THE TRAINING?
The one day training is 6 - 7 hours long and is limited to 10 participants. Multiple trainings can be scheduled if your group is larger than 10. Size is limited because students do in-class work and presentation practice.
1. Spellbound: How to tell engaging stories about topics that may or may not be engaging. Students learn how to bring stats to life, how to look beyond the numbers on a chart to see the story it’s telling and how to think in terms of concepts and context to make complicated information easy to understand.
2. PowerPoint: Tips and tricks for people who aren’t designers. We walk through some best practices for using PowerPoint and some hands-on skills training to get familiar with some PowerPoint features that can make decks look stellar.
3. Presentation skills: What do I do with my hands? We’ll learn about the messages our bodies are sending whether we know it or not, about how to present from a seated position and from a standing position. In this last section we do our final presentation in front of a video camera, for playback review.
Storytelling Training is completely customized to your team. Using an established framework for the training, your existing presentations are incorporated to make the training more meaningful for your team.
THE PROCESS
First, you drop me a line. I’ll ask a bunch of questions that will help me understand how I can best be of service to you and your team. Every company, and every team within the company, has different needs, requirements and nuance that I’ll work with in order to create a completely custom training experience.
We’ll schedule the training for a day that works for everyone. I’ll show up and storywork the heck outta that team. By the time I leave, every student will be eager to get to work on their next presentation.
TESTAMENT
Joy is an engaging teacher and a consummate professional, with an incredibly strong background in PowerPoint, data-driven storytelling and narrative. I can say with confidence that my training with Joy made me both a better communicator and a more effective presenter. I highly recommend that you take advantage of her skills - you and your team won't regret it!

To be honest, this was not a workshop I was looking forward to. But having gone through it, I'm so happy the Expedia team had the great opportunity to be a part of it. The lessons learned were simple yet powerful, and overall it was a ton of fun. Thanks, Joy!
