Being an entrepreneur means that I often have to invite employees, advisors, investors, and customers to support and share my vision. I have learned that speaking in front of an audience of several hundred people requires more than confidence. Presenters must have a plan for developing their message, sharing it in a compelling way, and using tools to present captivating visual elements that support ones arguments. In The Big Fish Experience, Kenny, Gus, Rob, and Luke take you through the entire process of planning, creating, and delivering presentations that will inform and inspire any audience.
