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.
