Good question — we know the MasterClass is a serious commitment. So if you're looking for the cool PowerPoint tricks, stunning animation workflows or 10 ways to improve your presentation skills, then MasterClass won't be worth it. Also, if you're interested in a credential or certificates or badges to tack onto your LinkedIn profile, then the MasterClass won't be worth it. However, if you're looking for insights on what makes a presentation great, concepts you can apply directly to an upcoming presentation, step-by-step walkthroughs of current, relevant examples, taught by experts who spent time, solving communications challenges faced by CXOs and founders, then yes, the MasterClass is worth the commitment.

Indeed a relevant question! Let me try to explain. Suppose you want to improve your cricketing skills. Would you like to get coached by a former Indian cricketer or by a cricket commentator?

At this MasterClass, we share the same techniques that we use at our design studio for crafting a persuasive presentation for CXOs worldwide Well, they say, "Seeing is believing!"

This program is not a fit for beginners. The content will be intermediate to advanced. The MasterClass is focused on professionals who already know the basics of creating and delivering a presentation.
