at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand, 7:00pm to 9:30pm

Have you and your colleagues been subjected to boring and endless bullet points presentations? Many of the PowerPoint presentations delivered each day often contains too much information, which overloads the audience causing a mind numbing effect; a state we call death by PowerPoint. Effective presentation is crucial and the difference between a good or bad presentation could mean success or failure.
   
If you want to know how to present like Steve Jobs, then join us on Wednesday, May 25th, where Khun Dumkerng Raiwa, a seasoned mind mapping trainer, will show you how to organize information using applied mind mapping and combine it with Presentation Zen concept, a method that capture the audiences’ attention and deliver a clear message. Designed to take your presentation to another level, this technique will get people to pay attention to your presentation and help you achieve the desired result. 
Invented by Tony Buzan over 40 years ago, Mind Maps - dubbed the ‘Swiss Army knife of the brain' - are used by over 300 million people globally, including leading business and political figures such as Bill Gates and Al Gore.
Garr Reynolds coined the term Presentation Zen and authored a book by the same title. Recognized as an expert in the field of design and presentation, Reynolds believes that strong presentation skills and the ability to engage and connect can truly set you apart from the crowd.
