From Expert to Presenter: Communicating Complex Ideas to Any Audience
Β
Technical expertise is only valuable if it can be communicated clearly. This course gives subject matter experts and technical professionals the tools to translate complex information into compelling, audience-centered presentations, delivered with confidence and built to drive understanding and action.
About This Course
Technical expertise is hard-won and incredibly valuable. But when a subject matter expert steps in front of an audience that does not share their background, all of that expertise is only as useful as their ability to communicate it clearly. The curse of knowledge is real: the more deeply someone knows a subject, the harder it can be to explain it to someone who does not.
This course is designed specifically for technical professionals, subject matter experts, and specialists who are regularly called upon to present their knowledge to others. Whether presenting to leadership, training a non-technical team, or briefing clients on complex findings, participants learn how to translate their expertise into presentations that are audience-centered, engaging, and built to drive understanding and action.
The course is delivered in two half-day sessions approximately two weeks apart, giving participants time to apply what they have learned in a practice presentation before the second session. Feedback is a core component of the experience, ensuring every participant leaves with both skills and confidence.

"Janel taught us that data doesn't need to lead the presentation and storytelling is more impactful. This makes it easier to envision a good presentation. A story is part of you and should flow from you naturally."
