Visual Language workshops offer step-by-step instructions for replacing bulletpoints with powerfully visual and flexible content.
Level 1 focuses on the numerous ways pictures help tell stories and visually express ideas, along with photography skills and design best practices. And you’ll use included templates to build what’s known as a “presentation platform,” basically an interlinked collection of all your slide shows that gives fast, convenient access to anything needed during a talk. Show and say ideas on the fly while speaking, as though jumping around inside a website.
Level 1 registration includes a complementary copy of all five Visual Language Books and the Visual Language Templates (you save $258). And, you’ll get three free months of learning support.
Level 2 sessions offer advanced visual communication skills for expanded design options. Add on-demand video to your growing presentation platform, along with audio, documents (PDF, Word, Excel), website links, and more. Such a robust presentation platform becomes like a content management system, a dynamic repository for everything that might be needed while in front of any audience, on any day.
Level 2 sessions also focus heavily on a wide array of animation methods that bring content ideas to life. Plus, you’ll learn to build what are known as “shape graphics” that model, diagram, and represent topics when using pictures alone simply is not enough. Shape graphics combined with animations open up a whole new world of creative possibilities.
Best of all, Visual Language sessions (both Level 1 and Level 2) offer more than mere theory. They walk through extremely hands-on, practical examples that are useful right away in upcoming talks. You’ll walk away with a wealth of down-to-earth strategies for leaving behind bullet points forever.
Choose between two learning options. Either attend a live event held in different cities throughout the US or sign up for the on-demand video version of the course. We schedule live events over three consecutive days (per level) or sometimes offer them in a “condensed” two-day format. See the individual scheduling links for more details.
