Rhetoric & AI for Presentations That Stick in Your Mind

training
This training is held in German.
"If nobody knows you, you’re not memorable enough," says Leif Ahrens. Not in the sense of being "strange," but in a way that makes your message stick in people’s minds. The key question today is: What remains of the classics of rhetoric? What works differently in the age of AI? Ideas are structured with the support of AI. At the same time, it’s about presentation and speaking skills, so that no one sounds like a machine, but rather confident, human, and authentic. You must be convincing in terms of content and have an emotional impact. AI is your assistant (no longer). Get your rhetoric skills ready for presentations in the AI era. You will convey your messages confidently and with authority.

Questions about the seminar content

Complex topics often seem difficult to understand because too many details are presented at once. For this reason, in this training program, you’ll learn to consistently select information from your audience’s perspective, simplify it, and structure it in a way that’s easy to follow. Using appropriate analogies and clear examples, you’ll make abstract concepts more tangible. AI can help you identify unnecessary complexity and develop various ways to simplify the material. This will enable you to clearly convey even challenging content without distorting its technical accuracy.

A message is particularly memorable when it is clear, relevant, and emotionally resonant. In this training course, you’ll learn how to refine your core message and link it to a fitting story, a memorable image, or a surprising perspective. The goal isn’t entertainment at any cost, but rather an effective blend of content and emotion. Through practical speaking exercises, you’ll discover which phrasing sparks your audience’s interest and how to deliver your message in a way that ensures it lingers in their minds even after the conversation or presentation has ended.

When speaking off the cuff, it’s often not a lack of subject matter knowledge that’s the problem, but rather a lack of a reliable internal structure. That’s why this training course will teach you a clear outline that will help you organize your thoughts and speak confidently—even without a fully written script. Practical speaking cards help you keep track of the key points of your presentation without having to read from them. AI can convert existing slides or notes into a logical card structure. This makes you come across as more natural, allows you to respond more flexibly to your audience, and makes it easier to get back on track after interruptions.

The first few seconds often determine whether people will listen attentively or zone out. In the “ training ” course, you’ll develop opening remarks that fit the topic, the occasion, and your personality. Instead of starting with long preambles or generic clichés, you’ll learn to establish relevance right away. This way, you’ll find an opening that sparks interest, comes across as professional, and remains authentic at the same time.

Interruptions and critical objections can quickly lead you to defend yourself, lose your train of thought, or react emotionally. In the “ training ” course, you’ll analyze why people raise objections and how to distinguish between a valid question, a misunderstanding, and a destructive “killer phrase.” You’ll then practice argumentation chains that allow you to address objections and steer the conversation back in a constructive direction. This will help you remain respectful, clear, and persuasive even in difficult situations.
