What do two comedians have to teach you about making your presentations better? More than you might suspect.

Imagine the work environment of a stand-up comic: Performing in an unfamiliar environment, to an unfamiliar crowd and they know there's at least one or two people out there in that dimly-lit room who probably want to take them down a peg. Sound familiar?

Maybe reminds you a little of your last speaking engagement or sales presentation?

While we've focused a lot at VizThink on making your presentations look more appealing and be more effective from a visual stand-point, we haven't spent a whole lot of time on the skills around delivering it - which is why we started assembling this VizThinkU course. While not directly a visual exercise or skill the art of delivering your presentation is a very important component of telling your story. This workshop will introduce you to new ideas about engaging and interacting with your audience as well as approaches to think quickly on your feet and react to unexpected situations.

Our two faculty members for this session, Heather Gold and John Vlismas, are both accomplished comedians and public speakers. In addition to their stand-up careers they've also consildated their skills and experiences into workshops that they've delivered around the world, and our now bringing them online as part of VizThinkU.
