On this page you’ll find evaluations from previous workshops I’ve run on presenting skills. These pdf forms are exactly as I received them from the organiser, warts and all!
The most recent evaluation is from Macworld 09, where I presented a two day Powertools workshop, focussed on the why and how of presenting, and then showing how I used a combination of Apple’s Keynote 08 and 09 (released the day before!) to construct the presentation. (lposen_pr3)
And here is last year’s Macworld 08, where I presented for about 75 minutes to about 250 people, for my first time. It was this presentation that proved Macworld MD Paul Kent’s faith in me was well placed, and saw me invited to present a two day Powertools workshop at Macworld 09 (lposen 915)
In 2006, I took my presentation skills and took them to a conference for accountants for their annual conference. I chose Personal Knoweldge Management as the topic, and for many it would have been the first time they saw a conference presentation without bullet points! (cpafeedback)
In 2007, I was invited to present at the Law Institute of Victoria Convention, with Presentation Skills for Lawyers for an hour. I was expected to use Powerpoint only, but I paid so I could use a Mac and Keynote!
Given I had something of a run-in with the conference organisers about this, it was gratifying to see the objective opinion offered by the outsourced evaluation organisation. (law-institute-eval2)
Soon after returning from Macworld 2008, I was invited to offer a one day “Effective Presentation Skills” workshop to a Victorian Department of Health Mental Health unit. They had heard of my work with another department helping them develop presentations to a group of forensic nurses. (2008-evaluation-effective-presentation-skills)

great to see such feedback. is it possible for you to post a few representative slides on your blog? currently there is no proof of the pudding! a corelation between the concepts you discuss in detail and how you actually implement them or what the audience sees

Hi, I am attempting to access your presentation from MW09 (Presentation Magic with Keynote), but cannot locate it on the download site provided to me (http://macpres09.shownets.net). Would you send me (or give me access to download) the slides from your presenation?
Thanks

I’m assuming you attended the workshop, Madeline? I wasn’t given class lists to verify. I’m going to be putting up some of the presentation here on the blog in Quicktime format to capture the transitions and effects. But it will come after I finish a project I’m working on this coming weekend. Please be patient!
How about a Presentation Magic Workshop in New York or Los Angeles in early June, 2009? « Les Posen’s Presentation Magic // May 7, 2009 at 12:35 am |
