About SlideHeroes and our Team
SlideHeroes provides online video-based training for professionals looking to learn to create compelling business presentations.
Our Philosophy
We believe presentation writing skills are under-rated. They can have a profound effect on your career success.
In fact, the ability to write clear and impactful PowerPoint presentations is, for young and mid-level professionals, one of the most valuable skills you can master.
- PowerPoint (Keynote) is the de facto paradigm for internal corporate communication today
- The ability to present ideas and results in an understandable and compelling way can be a key differentiator (frankly many people are simply not very good at it)
- Strong communication skills make professionals more effective – they save time that would otherwise be spent resolving issues that arise from mis-communication
The problem many face is that unless a professional lucks out early in their career and learns the craft of creating business presentations from someone pretty exceptional – their presentation development skills are probably pretty poor.
SlideHeroes seeks to change that.
Our focus
Sit-down business presentations (not the auditorium style speech)
The vast majority of business presentations are not made standing-up, in-front of a crowd. Instead, they are made sitting down, around a table, updating a project team or presenting our thinking/ideas/recommendations to our boss.
The creation of the presentation content (story, structure, logic, data), not simply the delivery of it
The success of sit-down style presentations relies, in large part, on the clarity, crispness, and punch of the content on the page. Learning to create, rather than just deliver, a presentation is critical.
The mastery of a broad set of skills, not just one
Becoming exceptional at crafting board-level presentations is tough. Crafting successful presentations is a multi-disciplinary challenge that requires the mastery of a broad SET of distinct skills. These five disciples form the backbone of our teaching:
- The Art of Storytelling
- The Power of Logical Structure
- The Science of Fact-based Persuasion
- The Harmony of Design
- The Drama of Performance
