The Worlds First Complete Visual Thinking Course

There is an amazingly simple approach to keep everyone happily awake & engaged during your next online meeting. Ready for it?

 
 

I’m Dan Roam, author of the international bestseller THE BACK OF THE NAPKIN and creator of the NapkinAcademy.com.

I have a secret for you: if you draw on-screen during your next online meeting, you are guaranteed to attract and retain more of your audience’s attention than with any other approach. It’s simple science: the more you tell visual stories and mark-up your presentation, the more mind-share you will capture and the more your audience will remember.

Launching a Zoom is a start, but that alone won't get you anywhere close to where you need to be. In the high-distraction world of online meetings, you need an audience-capture solution that works at the visual core of human cognition.

You can have that solution now. I call it Online Meeting Magic.

I’ve spent ten years studying how to capture people’s visual attention during meetings and presentations, and I've written five books about it. In summary, all you really need to know is this:

  • Share a good story.

  • Clarify it with simple pictures.

  • Mark it up with basic sketching as you go.

That’s it.

If you can share two hours with me, I can show you exactly how to do this using the tools you already own. With my fast, fun, and engaging Online Meeting Magic program, you'll see radical improvement in your audience’s participation, attention, and engagement during your next online meeting.

THE 5 TYPES OF ONLINE MEETINGS

Before launching Zoom (or Hangouts, GoToWebinar, Webex, or MS Teams), make sure you know which of the five meeting types you should run. Simple “information delivery” has a different goal than a “sales pitch” or a “problem-solving meeting.” I will focus in detail in this program on the “new idea presentation” because the essential insights you will gain here apply immediately to all the others.

THE 10-PAGE STORY TEMPLATE

Whether you use PowerPoint, Google Docs, or Keynote, your goal is to build and share a compelling story. This 10-Page Story Template is a proven go-to framework that you can use to jump-start an evocative presentation on almost any topic, from instructional guidance to problem-solving to a successful sales-pitch.

HOW TO DRAW AND USE THE 7 ESSENTIAL “WHITEBOARD” SKETCHES

I got started in the executive presentation business decades ago as a designer and have personally sketched more than 10,000 drawings with pen, airbrush, Illustrator, Photoshop, PowerPoint, and Google Slides. And I can tell you this: 90% of all the pictures you will ever need to create begin with these seven essential frameworks. If you can draw these and a stick-figure, you have everything you need.

HOW TO CAPTURE ATTENTION THROUGH ON-SCREEN MARKUP

The magic comes when you mark-up your screen live during your presentation. When you do this YOUR AUDIENCE LITERALLY CAN NOT LOOK AWAY. If you want to create an online experience that captivates your audience, drives engagement, and promotes retention, you MUST do this. Learn how right here.

Online Meeting Magic is a shift from the past to the present. These effective tools of engagement bring the presentation to life and move you from a passive viewer to an active audience member. This artful way of navigating focus increases retention but more importantly enjoyment. I look forward to implementing this new approach with my customers.

Are virtual meetings all about a pen? Perhaps. I wouldn’t have believed it, but Online Meeting Magic invited me into a more dynamic  and effective way to engage with my co-workers in our new, virtual world. These tools increase audience engagement and invite others to not only participate, but collaborate, on some of the most challenging problems we face. This course is perfect for individuals who want to improve their skills and build their confidence and I believe it would be equally beneficial for larger teams and organizations.

Most online meetings are boring, pointless, and soul crushing. Why? Because online meeting hosts treat them like offline meetings in a bland boardroom. Dan Roam's Online Meeting Magic changes all that. This cutting edge training turns even the most mundane team and client meetings into an inspirational experience and a force for change. Yes!
