In this Part II of Steve's two-part seminar series, you will learn how to think and plan for a presentation so that you can maximize your ability to influence others.

The Mandel Blueprint system will give you a straightforward method for increasing your ability to have your audience remember what you say and be influenced by it. Steve discusses how to prepare the quintessential “elevator pitch”, organize content and data and how to open and close a presentation. The techniques in this workshop can be applied to interpersonal conversations, email, and other forms of communications.
