WORKSHOPS

Meaningful Connection is at the core of  Joshua's most popular workshops. They focus on Team Building, Debrief, Communication and Presentation Skills.

 

MIND BLOWING PRESENTATIONS

You and your group could use a bump to take their presentations to the next level.

This is because today's presenter must truly engage the audience in ways that until recently have never been explored.

Joshua’s presentations blow minds, and in this workshop he shares the secret.

“Joshua Routh was an amazing collaborative partner. His quality and professionalism is unparalleled in the St. Louis region. I cannot wait to work with him again. His spirit and talent helped carry my presentation through to perfection. Without his help, I'm certain I would not have received the results I did.” - Sean Trani, Pelopidas

It could be said Joshua Routh wrote the book on Mind Blowing Presentations.

Because he did.

His book and workshop has been used by many people to gain an edge and improve their presentation skills exponentially.

Joshua has over 20 years’ experience directing, choreographing, writing, and consulting for theatrical productions, magic acts, circuses, and films. He has a broad knowledge base of what it takes to create a Mind Blowing Presentation. Many businesses and conferences have commissioned his skills to help their staff and attendees grow as presenters. 

In the era of TED talks and PechaKucha presentations, it has become clear that a microphone and a PowerPoint are not enough to excite and audience. Today's presenter must truly engage the audience in ways that until recently have never been explored.
