What A Producer, Writer and Performer Can Teach You About Great Trainings with Bill Stainton

ASTD Puget Sound is proud to kick-off the new year with a fun presentation that will help you develop and deliver more engaging trainings. Find out how a 29-time Emmy Award winner applies lessons learned from the world of television to his presentations, and how you can do the same. The content will be relevant both to stand-up trainers and to instructional designers, as it will approach the material from 3 perspectives: the Producer lens, the Writer lens, and the Performer lens.

Through engaging lecture and brief exercises, participants will learn:

• How to think like a producer when crafting your presentations
• How to structure your presentations for maximum effect
• How to utilize predictable unpredictability to keep your audiences awake and interested
• A simple rule to help you plan your openings and closings
• How to use the secrets of comedy writers to make your speeches and stories come alive
• How to use acting tips to turn your presentation into a performance
