THE BUSINESS
PRESENTATION
REVOLUTION
PROGRAMME
WHO ARE WE?
Ideas on Stage helps leaders deliver powerful presentations, create inspiring events and
empower their organisations with high quality public speaking coaching and training.
In a world of boring conferences and endless meetings, you will stand out and shine.
We created Ideas on Stage in 2010, convinced that successful presentations are a key
competitive advantage, and offered a revolutionary blend of storytelling, visual design
and speaker coaching. Our intuition was right: our clients realised the value of high-
impact presentations, kept coming back for more, and told their friends.
Today the communication experts of Ideas on Stage provide a full range of presentation
services around the world in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.
A big part of the way most companies sell is to use a PowerPoint or Keynote
presentation that shows the complex benefits of the solution they are offering.
But even great companies — who are very good at what they do — often lack the
ability to clearly share their value to their target audience using presentations. So
they come to Ideas on Stage because they want to improve their presentations.
There are many reasons why our clients want to improve their presentations but
at the heart of it what they really want is to win more deals, get more customers
and sell more.
Unclear message: most presenters find it
difficult to identify their key messages and to craft a
story that communicates.
Death by PowerPoint: the way most people and
companies use slides is far from aligned with what
science knows about communication.
Inability to connect: without a compelling
narrative and powerful visuals that amplify their
ideas, most presenters find it difficult to connect
with their audience.
Compelling message: identifying your key
messages and shaping them into a compelling
storyline that grabs the audience’s attention.
Elegant visuals: illustrating your talk with
memorable visuals that help your audience to
understand and remember.
Powerful communication: preparing
to speak, rehearsing, and delivering your
presentation comfortably and convincingly.

THE PRESENTATION SCORE METHOD
IT’S MORE THAN JUST POWERPOINT
FIVE SUCCESS CRITERIA FOR EVERY PRESENTATION
PRESENTATION
SCORE
If you think a presentation is just about PowerPoint, you’ve missed the point.
It’s about connecting. It’s about a story, a proposition or a value that gets
communicated.
The Business Presentation Revolution Programme is built around our unique
Presentation SCORE Method. The method aims to ensure all presentations meet five
key success criteria:
SIMPLE
The more you say, the
less they remember,
so keep it short,
simple and to the
point
CLEAR
Your objectives
and key messages
should be obvious to
everybody – including
you
ORIGINAL
Make your
presentation stand
out, and people will
remember it for
longer
RELEVANT
It’s their presentation,
not yours, so make it
relevant and useful for
your audience
ENJOYABLE
If the audience enjoys
your talk, they will pay
more attention, and
remember more
THE PRESENTATION
SCORE METHOD CONSISTS
OF FOUR STEPS:
IDEATION
Understanding your audience and their needs, setting
your objective, and brainstorming to find your key
messages
CREATION
Shaping your messages into a compelling storyline that
grabs and keeps the audience’s attention and makes your
key messages stick
ILLUSTRATION
Illustrating your talk with powerful visual aids that help
your audience to understand and remember, instead of
the typical death-by-bullet-point that only makes them
switch off
DELIVERY
Preparing to speak, rehearsing, and delivering your
presentation comfortably and convincingly

There will be one session per week. The entire programme lasts 7 weeks.
This hands-on course will ensure your presentations will never be the same again.
Who’s This For?
This programme is ideal for business leaders, senior
managers and anyone who is looking to learn and
practise new techniques for creating successful
business presentations.
This is not for people who are not open to trying
a different way of creating presentations. At Ideas
on Stage, we avoid any association with poor
presentations. Our reputation is very important to
us, therefore if a client does not allow us to make
their presentation a success, we prefer not to be
associated with that presentation at all.
If, however, you are keen to change the way you and
your team present, then this is definitely for you.
What We
Want From You
There’s only one thing we
want from you: to commit
to the process. After each
session we will propose
exercises and activities
which will be different from
the things most people do
when they create business
presentations. Do the work,
and trust and enjoy the
process. Your audiences
will thank you.
WHY IDEAS ON STAGE?
MEANT FOR BUSINESS.
Ideas on Stage is led by former business executives. Our focus is on solving business
problems through presentations. We truly understand the ‘business’ in business
communication.
NOT JUST TRAINING.
We are not just a training company. We’ve produced presentations for thousands of
business leaders in many of the world’s leading organisations to help them win more
deals, get more customers and sell more.
DOING GOOD.
We aim to help as many deserving presenters and causes as possible. We dedicate
10% of our time to helping charities, associations and social entrepreneurs with their
presentations, either at no charge or at a low fee to cover our costs.
“The Business Presentation Revolution is one of the most popular
courses in our whole curriculum, and Ideas on Stage’s methods have
truly revolutionised our way of working, presenting and selling our
services.”
“You go to the course for public speaking, but you leave with far more
powerful tools. Liberating.”
“This course is intense: one learns to think about the message according
to the audience, to structure it with storytelling techniques and to make
it memorable. Follow this course and your presentations will never be
the same again.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Great ideas need great presentations.
In a world where far too many presentations are
quickly forgotten, Ideas on Stage helps leaders and
communicators to achieve their objectives through
successful presentations that inspire, motivate and
transform audiences.
Every presentation
should be an experience.
Whenever a presenter takes time from an audience, they
should give them something that is worth their time, and
stays in their memory.
Presentations should rhyme with
inspiration and transformation.
While too many presentations aim only to share
information, and fail to do so, what presentations do
best is to inspire and transform audiences: changing
beliefs, generating emotions, and provoking actions.
“I had a very important presentation to make and I wanted to get it
right. Andrea helped me clarify my message so that it resonated with my
audience. We started from a rough idea and ended up with a powerful
presentation that helped the audience better understand my message.
I believe I had the best presentation at the event.”
“Working with Andrea made me be crystal clear on my message, how
I was going to deliver it, I had slides that I felt confident to use and
proud about and it made me refine the whole process.”

do, feel or believe something different, then you’ve
wasted your time — and worse, you’ve wasted theirs.”
