- key elements of presentation skills of patient advocates
- the power of storytelling – and not to fall victim of “death by powerpoint”
- how to connect stories and evidence/facts
- the role of language and non-verbals
- the role of visuals – no “power-Word on PPT”, use of illustrations, good and bad colours
- having absolute clarity around what they want to achieve, and building a call to action
- good timing – not more than 1 slide per minute, no “I will flick through this quickly” – nothing is worse than being overtime
