The Extreme Presentation™ Method

Extreme Presentation™ is a simple but effective design approach for creating presentations that are clear, convincing, visually captivating - and brief. The approach builds on leading theory and decades of experience designing and delivering presentations. It integrates the five essential elements of an effective presentation:

• LOGIC: the persuasive argument
• RHETORIC: the story that brings the argument to life
• GRAPHICS: the visuals that deliver the evidence convincingly
• POLITICS: the influence methods for persuading the audience
• METRICS: measurement of the presentation's success

The Extreme Presentation™ method is taught in a one-day workshop. During the workshop, participants apply the method to a presentation of their own, and they leave the workshop not just with a firm grasp of the method, but also having worked on and substantially developed a powerful presentation of their own, for their next big meeting.
