What would it be like if you could powerfully influence your audience to shift their thoughts, attitudes and behaviors in five minutes or less? Whether you’re pitching an idea, engaging with legislators, presenting over Zoom, speaking at a fundraiser, or sitting on a panel, you’re being asked to deliver your message in shorter and shorter time frames.

 

Lisa will show you exactly how to leverage the “power of five” (minutes!) to create a concise, crisp and compelling presentation when your speaking slot is tight. Inspire your audience to take action without brain-dumping, fire-hosing, or stealing their precious time.
