Are These Deadly Presentation Mistakes Stopping You From Succeeding?
Rushing out a pitch, only to have it rejected. Delaying progress for months with endless changes
Not tackling emotions of your boss or client, leaving them bored and uninspired
Spending days piecing ideas together, with no idea how to create a clear flow
Thinking: “My idea is amazing… so my audience would naturally love it”
Using confusing jargon or lingo to appear more prepared
Doing it the same you've always done it and expecting different results.
You’re left exhausted, stressed and your audiences bored and uninspired.
Your ideas hardly get through and you don’t know how to fix it.
The Good News Is…You’re Not Alone
We’ve consulted for and trained hundreds of executives from the world’s top organisations including government agencies, C-Suites and Fortune 500 companies like Mastercard, Nike and Oracle.
We’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly of how pitches can be.. And suffice to say, it’s more common than you think.
And we’ve taken all those learnings and compiled it into the most potent Storytelling framework SPECIFICALLY tailored to be quickly downloaded into your executive brain and go on to quickly crush it in the boardroom.
This is the proven structure we use with mega corporations to distill complex ideas and into persuasive business stories so they win… BIG.
I’m talking about million-dollar decisions and sales contracts brought in using this framework you’ll be exposed to in our course.
“(The course) clearly points out the most effective way of telling stories. A paradigm shift from from compelling people to say YES to making it impossible for them to say NO.”
Imagine….
No longer feeling stuck and unsure preparing for important presentations
No more lost opportunities to colleagues that “talk” better than you
No more missing the mark entirely, leading to painful rejection
Winning more respect and trust from your boss and clients
No more yawning, slouching audience members looking bored whenever you speak
Having a proven process, giving you an unfair advantage in the boardroom
I’ll help you get there.

Module #1: Foundation of Persuasive Presentations
As a corporate professional who often needs to communicate your ideas frequently, there’s nothing more valuable than having a tested and proven structure to influence people.
Abraham Lincoln, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King Jr… they share a few core principles of Strategic Storytelling (even though they do it differently). And applying these principles can potentially take your career to the next level.
Module #2: Getting Into The Minds Of Your Audience
People don’t care about what you can do. They only care about what you can do for them.
The biggest reason why we fail at our pitches is because of a Priorities mismatch (Your audience don’t see the importance of your issue). In this Module, we teach you how to tap into your audience’s objectives and priorities so that you’re able to craft a presentation that’s hard to ignore.
You’ll learn:
- The one mindset shift you need to become more “Audience-Centric” when it comes to presentation.
- Crystallizing The Objective Framework: This template has helped a lot of my students get more buy-in with their bosses and clients when it comes to pitching a new presentation.
- The “Onion Peeling Technique” so you can get to the heart of what matters and ignore “surface-level” issues your audience doesn’t care about.
- How to set a specific and actionable “North Star” for your presentation so that your audience knows the purpose of why you’re presenting.
Module #3: Setting Clear Objectives And Finding A Common Goal
The biggest reason why we fail at our pitches is because we neglect one of the most important factors, our objective(s). In this Module, we teach you how to tap into your audience’s objectives and priorities so that you’re able to craft a presentation that’s hard to ignore.
You’ll learn:
- How to isolate a common goal between you and your audience to get buy-in effortlessly
- To define clear goals to achieve your objective
Module #4: 5P StorySelling Structure
The Multi-Million dollar Presentation Framework
According to Inc., the top 3 reasons why most presentations fail is because they make one of these mistakes: (1) Having too much Information, (2) Presenting from a wrong POV and (3) Not positioning things differently.
At HighSpark, we’ve created a structure that helps you with this by:
- Premise: Establish a relevant premise to help you set the right context so they see the problem of what you’re presenting.
- Proposition: Simplifying all the information you have into one big idea so that your audience can digest it.
- Plan: Sharing what’s unique about your ideas and how it works.
- Promise: Giving measurable and tangible case studies and results from implementing your ideas.
- Permission: Getting permission from your audience to lead them into taking action so you get what you want.
Module #5: Creating engaging story flows by storyboarding
Module #6: framing key messages so people listen
Now that you have a clear picture of your story flow, framing becomes even more crucial to getting it right. How do you create the right setting by packaging your messages into frames? We’ll give you a deep dive into framing your key messages so people understand and listen to you.
Module #7: Overcoming unsaid objections
The key to winning with your ideas is not to get people to say ‘yes’, but to give them no reason to say ‘No’. We’ll share with you our unique framework to identify objections before they arise and arrest all doubt, leaving your listeners with only one question : “How do I sign off on this?” Discover how to anticipate and prepare for any objections. This works so well, they’ll think you’re a ‘minder-reader’.
Module #8: Writing Headlines That Sell Your Ideas
Famous ad-man David Ogilvy once said – “On the average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.”
This rings true for ad mediums as well as presentations. We’ll teach you to write headlines that leave your audiences enamored by both the clarity and persuasiveness of your pitches

Our Unique 5P Formula: The Secret To Effortless Persuasion In The Boardroom
Don’t let the simplicity fool you.
It’s a thought-process intuitively used by top performers (by that, I mean the C-suites and fastest organisation climbers) in almost every field to win over others. Some of our clients have closed million-dollar deals leveraging this same formula.
Storytelling is pretty cliché… but the truth is that most people don’t know how to leverage the true power of stories to influence others to join your corner and become advocates for your ideas.
In this course, we’ll be teaching you the art of telling what we call: ‘Strategic Stories’.
In turn, you can look forward to winning more deals, more contracts and more respect from your audience if applied correctly.
That’s how we secured top Fortune 500 clients, got on the list of Forbes 30 Under 30, grew our business by 7.5 times and recently won an award for our training programmes.
“The course trains you to think deeper. It teaches you to structure your pitch from the audience’s standpoint. Definitely a must-attend! “
