Slide decks, slideshows, PowerPoints are tied to a time when content was static and contained in finite pages. We navigated through content by moving from slide to slide, page to page. We had to turn the page or hit 'next.' But now we have websites and digital media. So not only has content evolved drastically, but so has the way that we can interact with this content on a screen. Webpage presentations fit in with today's visual culture. Today, we can present content in a way that matches how we naturally view and experience the world.
This presentation has three parts: when, why, and how. We’ll look at the history of visual storytelling to understand why it’s time for a change. Then, Rachel will discuss how to build webpage presentations using page builders, WordPress and other tools.
In this presentation, your audience will learn how webpage presentations benefit you in three areas:
1. Functionality & Creativity

A Candid Conversation: Speaker Business Models

We have all heard the expression, "you are your biggest asset." So why do so many of us feel reluctant to let our personality shine in business? Maybe it's because we don't know how.

Danielle Hughes, founder of More Than Words Marketing, helps individuals learn how to develop their Genuine Personality Brand to stand out in a sea of sameness and a world of duplicates. Danielle created the concept of Personality Brand after realizing that personal branding isn't for everyone. After all, if something is personal, why share it with the world?
