The presentation training takes place online over 3 days. We run both open and closed groups for our Boredom Slayers training, meaning you can book as an individual or book for a team. Open Groups are scheduled by us and anyone can attend. Closed groups are pre-booked for your company for up to 12 people, this is a great option for your sales, marketing and product teams to fine-tune their presentation strategy, delivery and design skills.
MODULE 1 : MASTER THE MESSAGE
Every presentation is written before it is designed and delivered. Start with a solid foundation.
Through Boredom Slayers, you will discover tools, techniques and presentation hacks to transform the way you create your narrative, so you never put an audience to sleep again. You’ll gain the practical experience and develop the skills you need to create impactful, action-oriented presentations and have a lot of fun doing it! You and your team’s approach to creating a structure for your presentations will be forever changed – for the better.
MODULE 2 : PIMP MY PRESO
For all the years you’ve been using PowerPoint, what you had in your mind’s eye when you started building your last presentation never really made it onto your slides, right? Not anymore.
After you’ve finished Pimp your Preso you will have the knowledge and tools (both online and offline) to help you create eye-popping and impactful slides that get your message across to audiences in the most informative way.
MODULE 3 : STAND AND DELIVER
Do you ever feel that your nerves get the better of you before you have to stand up and present? We know the feeling and we’re dedicated to helping you wrestle those stage demons into submission!
After a fun day with us, you’ll have access to the insider tricks that you can apply to continue to grow and develop your own style of presenting. You will leave with a backpack full of tools to slay all of your stage demons and activate your audience.
There’s something sucking the life out of audiences everywhere, transforming them from the very people who can change your business into the disengaged masses. It’s called The Boredom … and your job is to slay it!

“The Missing Link training was everything I didn’t know I needed and more! It was fun, insightful, and I learned so much that I’m already applying. The trainers are never short of energy and the content is mind-blowing. HUGE thanks to the Missing Link team for a truly exceptional virtual experience!”

Thank you for this well structured course. I am so happy with the way it has been facilitated. Our facilitator kept our focus right through the three days. There is enough time to work on what has been learned. Helpful resources shared which will make everyone’s life so much easier all the free resources wow. Tips for presenting to your audience helped me focus on the way I speak and my body language. Cant wait to see my next audience reaction and get feedback.
