Author Quote

I wasn’t always into books. I could read well enough as a kid but I wasn’t in love with it. Things changed when I was introduced to JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings when I was about 12. It was amazing! The world of Middle Earth was so HUGE. I was totally swept up in it. I love reading now. Things come to life for me off the page in such 360˚ way - a complete world in every detail.”

Age 12 - "I’m going to be a commercial artist. I can draw pictures and get paid for them!"

Boring presentation

WOW Presentation

• You know a presentation is boring when you see boredom take over your audience.
• No one has understood anything you've said, you hear your audience snoring, and there's so much text that not even an image fits.

• You know a presentation is WOW when you keep your audience's attention.
• Everyone absorbs the information you've shared, turning interactivity and animation into allies, and you hear the audience's applause.

Here you can add a highlighted title, something thatcaptures your audience's attention

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies when creating tables, infographics, or charts that help provide context to the information and simplify data for your audience. We are visual beings, and it is easier for us to 'read' images than to read written text.

Showing enthusiasm, smiling, and maintaining eye contact with your audience can be your best allies when telling stories that excite and pique the audience's interest: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie.' This will help you connect with your audience. Leave them speechless!

Boost your content and take it to the next level

Visual content is a cross-disciplinary, universal language, like music. We are capable of understanding images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Here you can include a relevant fact to highlight

When delivering a presentation, you should aim for two objectives: convey information and prevent yawning. To achieve this, it can be good practice to create an outline and use words that are etched into your audience's memory.
