Presenting Work Like Your Life Depends On It

The myth that good work sells itself is just that — a myth. Good solutions aren’t always obvious at first glance. Good ideas, even the best ideas, need to be sold. Whether you’re a designer, a developer, a writer, or a consultant — you’ll need to persuade your boss or client of the idea’s worth. Creating a compelling story from a list of recommendations is an often overlooked design skill.

Making your case makes it more likely your work will launch on time (or at all) and that it represents your true intentions. It’s smart business.

During this workshop, we’ll cover effective presentation techniques including: how to take charge of a room, how to turn your research and data into a good story, how to map your work to the objectives of your business or client, how to ask for the right kind of feedback, and more importantly, how to avoid getting feedback you don’t really need!

Who is it for

You. No, seriously—you. Whether you’re a designer, a developer, an engineer, a content strategist, or whatever funny name you’ve come up for yourself this week, your job includes having to convince someone of something. This is true whether you’re working in an agency, a studio, inside an organisation, or for yourself. Everyone has clients, even if you call them “boss”.

When and where is the workshop taking place?

On Monday, November 7th, from 10am (10:00) to 5pm (17:00) at Neue Mälzerei, Friedenstraße 91, 10249 Berlin
