NSA Oregon: Sheri Fitts (Virtual Event)
2022-11-14 19:30 - 21:30 | https://nsaoregon.org/events/monthly-program-november-14-2022/
Avoid Death by PowerPoint with Sheri Fitts

You’ve landed the gig. You’ve practiced and tweaked. You’ve traveled across time zones. You’re ready.
Click goes your first slide.
Click goes your audience’s first impression.
If you want to get scientific about it, our optical nerve heads straight back to the reptilian brain. That brain? Is instinctual and fast!
The result? You have exactly 50 milliseconds to make a first impression – less than a blink of an eye.

Do you start your session with words and bullet points? Ouch, there goes your audience’s attention.
Are your images all over the place? You’re likely creating noise instead of inspiration.
Can you learn a few simple tricks for better design? Design is not necessarily all about creativity. It is also mathematical and spatial in nature. Yes, you can learn design. Your audience will thank you!

This session will dive into the art (and science) of slide design. And, VERY importantly, tips for formatting, image selection and helpful tweaks for a great impression. (Bring along your slide deck, we’ll have some time for hot seat reviews and recommendations.)

(Join us at 6:15 for virtual networking!)

NSA Austin: James Robilotta, CSP The Power of Relatability (Hybrid Event)
2023-01-06 10:30 - 12:00 | https://nsa-austin.com/events/hybrid-event-james-robilotta-csp-january-6-2023/
The Power of Relatability: How to Deliver Memorable Messages
with James Robilotta, CSP
Connecting with the audience is the most important thing a speaker does while on stage. Without that connection, our points don’t stick, our jokes never land, and we rarely get leads after. The effort put into building that bond is what separates good speakers from the great.
In this session, you’ll learn techniques for interaction and storytelling that unite you with an audience quickly, make you more relatable, and boost your confidence. This session is ideal for speakers looking to take their craft to the next level.
James Robilotta, CSP, is an author, professional speaker, coach, and a podcast host. James’ first book, Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for leaders, professionals, and human beings, is available wherever people buy books. He also speaks internationally to willing and unwilling attendees about authentic leadership, curiosity, and vulnerability. His clients include American Express, General Electric (GE), Accenture, Afterpay, SHRM, ATD, Yale University, MIT, and many others. His thought provoking talks are infused with self-awareness and comedy stemming from his background as a trained stand-up and improv comedian. To learn more, visit JamesTRobo.com.
