Presentology Training

the art and science of creating and delivering powerful, engaging presentations

What is Presentology training ?

Presentology training is a specialised form of presentation skills development that focuses on the art and science of creating and delivering powerful, engaging presentations. It combines elements of storytelling, design, delivery techniques, and audience psychology to help individuals and teams present with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.

Below are the areas the course covers:

1. Presentation Strategy

  • Understanding your audience
  • Defining a clear purpose and message
  • Structuring content for maximum impact (beginning, middle, end)
  • Using wisdom rather than knowledge

2. Slide Design (Visual Presentology)

  • Using visual storytelling instead of bulletpoints
  • Applying design principles: contrast, alignment, repetition, proximity
  • Incorporating visuals, infographics, and animations effectively
  • Avoiding “death by PowerPoint”

3. Personal Delivery

  • Voice control, pace, and tone
  • Body language and eye contact
  • Managing nerves and using presence to build credibility
  • Handling Q&A sessions confidently

4. Audience Engagement

  • Using interactive tools (polls, quizzes, live Q&A)
  • Reading the room and adjusting in real-time
  • Building connection through storytelling and empathy
  • Encouraging participation and feedback

5. Use of Technology

  • Leveraging modern presentation tools (e.g., Mentimeter, Prezi, Canva, PowerPoint Live)
  • Seamless use of multimedia (video, audio, live demos)
  • Backups and technical fail-safes

6. Real-World Practice

  • Delivering short presentations with peer and coach feedback
  • Recording and reviewing performance
  • Customising content for real-world scenarios (e.g. sales, board meetings, conferences)

Went beyond the mechanics of presentations, a huge focus was what works best for the audience. Opened up PowerPoint functionality and made it relevant to our presentations.

Johnny Quinn, Presentologist at AudienceAlive has a powerful insight into the way we can create deeper and more lasting engagement with our audiences. His depth of understanding into the many nuances of a platform we take for granted – PowerPoint – has contributed immeasurably to the success of so many professional speakers, and those who are required to speak as a professional element of their business. If you’re in the business of speaking professionally (and let’s face it – we are ALL in this business) and are looking for a way to really WOW your audiences, then make sure Johnny and AudienceAlive are part of your team
