Overview:
This webinar is a masterclass for battle-tested PMs ready to weaponize storytelling as both art and science. Forget basic tips dive into advanced techniques like:
- Part 1: The Verbal Arsenal
- SPIEL Framework: Structure presentations as emotional journeys (Stakes ? Problem ? Imagery ? Evidence ? Legacy)
- Voice Alchemy: Borrow vocal tactics from Oscar-winning directors pacing silences like Christopher Nolan, emphasizing urgency like Aaron Sorkin
- Metaphor Engineering: Convert jargon into viral analogies (e.g., "Our cloud migration isn't a tech upgrade it's the Lewis & Clark Expedition of digital transformation")
- Part 2: Visual Sorcery
- Figma-Proof Storyboards: Use Marvel-style splash panels to map project phases as cinematic acts
- Data as Drama: Transform charts into visual cliffhangers (e.g., a burndown chart reimagined as a "health bar" in a boss battle)
- AI-Powered Imagery: Generate bespoke visuals in seconds using tools like Midjourney for PM-specific prompts ("Epic fantasy art of a team slashing through technical debt with glowing scimitars")
- Part 3: Live Lab
- Red Alert Roleplay: Participants overhaul a real-world disaster deck (e.g., a 6-month delay) using crisis narrative rules from NASA's Apollo 13 comms team
- Neurofeedback Demo: See how your slides perform on eye-tracking heatmaps and emotional AI analysis
Why you should Attend:
- Kill "Death by PowerPoint" Forever: Learn to design TED Talk-caliber visuals that simplify complexity without dumbing it down

- Slide Zen: Apply Apple Keynote minimalism to PM decks less text, more visual punchlines
- Voice Modulation: Use podcast host techniques to emphasize urgency (pitch drops) or optimism (tempo spikes)
- Anchoring Metaphors: Turn projects into cultural touchstones ("This ERP rollout is our D-Day here's the invasion map")
- Preemptive Strike Slides: Embed hidden patterns (e.g., "Why This Matters" boxes using loss aversion framing)
- Gesture Choreography: Borrow TED speaker moves to physically "act out" risks and milestones
- Foreshadowing Frames: Tease future phases like movie trailers ("Next sprint the UI revolution begins")
- Failure Redemption Arcs: Structure post-mortems as heroic rebirth stories ("How the Security Breach Forged Our Unbreakable Protocol")
