Delivering Great Virtual Presentations

The next cohort starts on February 24. Click here to register

Elevate your virtual presentations with proven techniques that help you break through the digital divide and make meaningful connections with audiences.

Even if you’re a good presenter in person, giving a virtual presentation brings its own set of challenges. You have to contend with a distracted — or worse, multitasking — audience, technical glitches, potentially awkward handoffs to co-presenters, or, if working from home, having your cat jump into frame while you’re presenting.

The Delivering Great Virtual Presentations workshop will teach you:

How to better organize your presentations for virtual delivery
When — and when not to — incorporate decks
How to tap into your own intrinsic on-camera style
How to make your virtual presentations easier to prepare and more compelling
Develop a style that translates well on video and helps you make meaningful, persuasive connections with your audience

You’ll get a chance to try out what you’re learning in front of the group, with live feedback, in a supportive environment.

Format Live Workshops (Virtual)

Duration 5 sessions - 90 minutes each

Meet the Facilitator

Gary Duke

As a former ad agency exec turned trainer and executive coach, Gary has designed and delivered professional development programs for thousands of staff members working in ad agencies, PR firms and other creative companies. Gary knows firsthand the challenges associated with nailing a client presentation, having delivered hundreds of presentations during his 25-year career in advertising. He also served in several client-side leadership roles where he witnessed numerous presentations by agencies (some that were honestly painful to watch) so he brings a unique 360 degree perspective to the subject.

Gary is now Managing Partner, Chief Talent Officer of Wild Blue Yonder, a talent development firm specializing in training and coaching programs for agencies. His clients include many of the industry’s top independent and global ad agencies—including Havas Worldwide, IPG, OmnicomGroup, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy, Publicis, and WPP—as well as some of the world’s top consumer brands. Gary is a recognized thought leader and Talent Development Partner for the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As), where he wrote and co-produced the curriculum for the 4As Account Management Fundamentals self-paced training program.
