Roger Courville
“People don’t usually need more data; they need story, and meaning, and application.”
Like me, you’ve probably attended many webinars or other virtual presentations. Overall, the sessions I’ve seen have been, at best, uneven in quality. Given that, I thought I’d ask Roger Courville, one of the most articulate experts on this subject, what it takes to stage a great webinar.
Roger wrote the book on virtual presentations–literally. He’s the author of The Virtual Presenter’s Handbook, which helps virtual presenters develop and deliver content that engages audiences. He’s also the co-founder of 1080 Group, a firm that helps clients design and optimize web seminar programs.
In this podcast, Roger and I talk about the common characteristics of a great webinar, how speakers can hold an audience’s attention, and how to approach the creation of presentation slides. Roger also offers his perspective on the market for paid webinars, why webinar programs are an untapped opportunity, and what the future holds for virtual presentations.
We covered a lot of ground in less than 20 minutes.
