2-Day AI-Powered Storyboarding and Impactful Presentation Mastery - Turn Ideas into Stories, Slides and Presentations That Inspire Action

In this practical two-day workshop, participants will learn how to use Generative AI to transform complex information into clear, engaging and persuasive presentations. Participants will explore AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Canva and organisation-approved platforms to generate ideas, analyse audiences, structure narratives, create storyboards, develop visual concepts and improve presentation content.

Through hands-on exercises, participants will develop a real workplace presentation from initial concept to final delivery.

Responsible AI use, fact-checking, copyright, confidentiality and human judgement are integrated throughout the programme.
