24.01.2022 Want to know how to avoid overwhelming your audience..? Come on in and check it out !!

22.01.2022 Ready to work some magic on a new presentation for a client. I often come across business owners and entrepreneurs who are an expert in what they do. And they have the common false belief that because they are an in to do something that they are an expert in to do it.... They are two very different skill sets and the first thing I usually find when I start assessing their existing presentation is the lack of clear learning pathway for their audience. I invite you to have a look at your presentation, speech, even livestream and ask yourself.. #presentationskills #presentationdesign #businessowner #smallbusiness #corporatetrainer #speaker #keynotespeaker #learningdesign #saffronlearning See more

18.01.2022 No longer do I feel I need to stifle my creativity and uniqueness in design style just to fit in. I remember not so long ago and things were tough - pick almost any day this year and its been tough for #businessowners right? I applied for a role as a learning / instructional designer that I didnt really want to take on - but I'd convinced myself was what I needed to do.... I got through to the 'sample presentation stage' and then not even the 'thanks but no thanks' .. the chasm of silence. You know what I mean yes..? This is when I realised that I am not for everyone.. my style is not for everyone. and that I am ok with that. My vibrancy, and zest to make a difference to every learner in the room overshadows my willingness to be 'cookie cutter corporate' style. Simply put I will add energy and enthusiasm into your presentations and training But be warned.. I dont do BORING.. I dont do CONSERVATIVE I do do BESPOKE I do POLISHED presentations using my formulaic learning design protocol and I am CREATIVE After-all if I can make training airfares, taxes and surcharges on an airline ticket sexy and fun..and meaningful and impactful I am sure I can breathe new life into your content. I'm so relieved I didnt get that job coz what I do is an extension of who I am. Want your message to shine brighter.. let's connect and chat #design #creative #presentations #shinebrighter #speakers #leadersinheels #successfulwomen #empowerher #bespoke #designer #graphicdesign #messaging #imnotforeverybody #geniouszone #youdoyouboo #dontchangetofitin #evolveyourself #evolutionofthought #biggerpicture #knowyourpurpose #saffronlearning

18.01.2022 This is something I sometimes need to be reminded about so I thought maybe you might too! If you are in business for yourself, it is usually because you have a unique voice and message that you want to share and if you are in small business, you are your brand's identity.. that's me right? The lady with the pink hair who talks about presentations and learning. And sometimes when we put ourselves out in the public eye / market place .. like here on LinkedIn or when we are film...ing videos for our online course or filming a live-stream, we start thinking about how to conform and worry about what others might think of our way or methodology or our look. We sometimes forget that one of the most precious things we have to offer our customers and our clients is our undiluted authentic self. It's like our very own Catch-22 .. we want to have our own business so we can do things or way and be ourselves.. whilst simultaneously being almost crippled with fear about the prospect of doing exactly that. So I wanted to remind anyone who has forgotten... that it is you and your unique perspective that is the magic and you have to let yourself shine so others (yes even in the business community) can see that. #letyourselfshine #stayamazing #businessowner #smallbusiness #rememberyourwhy #shinefromwithin #saffronlearning #purpose #authenticity #brisbane #embraceyourself #believeinyou #liveyourdreams #limitless #mindset #opportunities #endlessopportunities #gratitude

15.01.2022 Hey my lovelies... Just wanted you to let you know that while I will still be around and working on smaller other stuff I will be cutting back on availability and hours for the next month or so.. to focus on my health ... Thanks so much for understanding #balance #health #wellness #saffronlearning

15.01.2022 #tips Breaking the mold Ive been told that Im different and that I do things backwards.. and thats ok... and thats why you need me... When preparing presentations and keynote speeches, typically the speech is scripted first and then the supporting visual modeling (eg slide deck) are slapped together to look pretty What if I told you to start with the visual models and then speak to them. When you approach your presentation this way, you begin to deliver spontaneous conversation that is connects your audience to your content and you remain present in the conversation rather than becoming a robotic and clinically detached speaker #presentationgoals Let me know your thoughts on this HAPPY PRESENTING #presenters #speakers #presentationskills #trainers #training #speeches #keynotespeakers

15.01.2022 Good morning presenters, speakers and trainers!! I am wondering if you can help me? I am designing new content for my brand new course and Id really like to know what it is YOUD like to know and what skills or knowledge are you seeking specifically relating to your keynote, webinar, workshop or training course?... Perhaps the easiest way to approach this would be to ask yourself what is the biggest challenge I am having at the moment with my presentation? If youd like to participate please DM me or leave a comment below and I will be in touch Thank you so much

13.01.2022 After some time off.. the Sales 2 Success Sales Masterclass with Sharon Davies on Saturday was officially my ‘I’m Back’ event. I am always so humbled when my colleagues trust me so much in what I do with learning design and slide design that not only do they refer me to their network.. They also accept my slides a few short hours before their presentation and just know that everything they need and want will be there waiting for them on the slides when they are in front o...f their audience.. with absolutely no rehearsal Thank you Sharon for inviting me to present as guest speaker and for trusting me to do all your slide design and delivery. It was also wonderful to get back in front of a live audience as a presenter again for the first time this year. It was such a fabulous event and I can’t wait for the next one in January #design #sales #learning #creativity #thankyou #creative #graphicdesign #salestraining

13.01.2022 Today Im taking you behind the scenes and give you an up close and personal look at my office space Its a humble yet friendly space .. its a work in progress where I am working to create a space that allows my authentic self to shine. I live and love out loud, (hence the pink hair), but I also like refined an polished (all my accessories like my iPhone, iPad, watch, and even my presentation clicker are all rose gold) ... I was looking for a practical way to separate the space so I had a defined work area... behold the magic of online shopping and I came across this 8 panel room divider Its both practical and pretty .. or as my eldest son would say.. is it Functional and Fashionable (we have many debates on function vs. fashion) Oh and it was also pretty affordable too. I guess this is where one of our core values here at Saffron Learning ties in ..... Efficient Elegance pssst you can still get the room divider so if you love it.. let me know and Ill send you the details #homeoffice #designyourown #authenticity #authenticliving #onlinecoursetips #onlinecoursecreator #learningdesigner #slideshow #presentationdesign #presentationslides #saffronlearning

12.01.2022 Apple vs The Rest of the World Over the years I have relied on many trusty laptops running on Windows and for a time.. when I was delivering training I had developed in the Solomon Islands I purposely chose a Windows based laptop due to the technology infrastructure up there...( you should have seen all of my adaptors and connectors I used to take with me - if I didn't take it with me.. I didn't have it) But secretly always longed for a MacBook .. and it isn't just vanity... because they are cool It was the siren's call of the graphics capability to my creative mind. I have long been seduced by the allure of endless array of creative design goodies available on Apple devices So.. as you may have guessed, I surrendered and now have a Macbook Pro as well as my trusty Dell.. and now I am wondering where on earth do I start. Which one do I use to do what... Can I even learn to think the Mac way? I mean I have been loyal in the phone arena since the iPhone 2 so surely it cant be that different can it .. *insert nervous laugh* What do you think.. Mac or Laptop or both? And more importantly, do you have any tips trick or hacks for those of us who cross the unspoken technological divide and use both ?? ps. I am a little excited about the MacBook Pro

12.01.2022 I just can't do this anymore... We've all been there We've all thought it... Some of us might have said it And some of us, may have had someone say that to us Whatever your experience of this phrase... know this.... you will ALWAYS win.. if you keep believing in you and your vision of you and if you just keep going #youvegothis #believeinyou #keepmovingforward #bestversionofyou #liveyourdream #followyourpassion #gratitude #knowyourtruth #feelthefearanddoitanyway #saffronlearning

11.01.2022 BALANCING ACT ...part 2 Content Balance This is all about the overall visual communication strategies on the slide, and specifically looking at ... the clarity of your message the authenticity of your slide the purpose (or desired outcome) of the slide and the overall style of complete slide deck. Everything on your slides must serve a purpose and convey part of your message to your audience. The purpose of your slide is to create a visual learning pathway for your audience which provides the concept, context AND the content of your message. Questions to ask yourself What is the purpose of this slide? Is this slide actually needed or is it something I just want to show my audience? (this one happens a lot!) Is this how I would naturally describe this concept? Does this make sense visually? Does this match what I am saying or explaining? Does each slide compliment and blend with every other slide within the slide deck? If you struggle with any of these..reach out..let's talk. Send me a message or email me [email protected] or if it's easier, add a comment below #presenters #presentations #graphicdesign #slidedesign #businessowner #smallbusiness #training #ceo #executives #speakers #keynotespeakers #saffronlearning

11.01.2022 #toolkit These are a few of my favourite things..... (did you sing that?? ) I remember the first time I used Canva (about two years ago) and I was absolutely crying my eyes out in frustration ... I had no idea what an element was or what to use a Hex code for.... I am entirely self taught and now it is my number 1 go to.. It is a HUGE time saver and the templates provide great inspiration.. It is a great place to start if you are wanting to create your own designs for social media, business cards, logs , presentations, flyers and many more.. 3 of my favourite features are the background remover layering functionality image transparency Who else uses Canva?!?! What's been your experience with it? #design #learningdesign #inspiration #tools #presentations #canva #presentationdesign #slideshow #graphicdesign #training #saffronlearning

11.01.2022 Who else loves Team GaryVee ?? I am a fan of his direct approach that cuts through the noise (and the excuses) right to the heart of the matter. One of the things I have said to my sons over the years is 'results don't care if your want to do it... they only care if you get it done!... And if you want results.. you need to take action and not make excuses or just read about it or dream, hope and wish for it to happen. It's so easy in business to procrastinate.. using 'perfectionism'as an excuse for non execution of tasks; or using 'research' as an excuse for not making a decision that will move you forward. You presentation slides are a representation of you, of your genius of how you can remove the challenges and change the lives of your customers, clients and audience. So my question for you is Why are you looking at someone else's slides and muttering over and over to yourself 'I wish my slides were that good.' And what are you telling yourself about your presentation slides that is stopping you from taking them to the next level? #realtalk #results #outcomedriven #presentationdesign #presentations #training #presentationslides #slideshows #onlinecoursecreators #saffronlearning

11.01.2022 Never could this quote ring more true than on Saturday where I was at the Sales 2 Success Sales with Confidence Masterclass presenting to the group on how to create presentation slides that not only look good..but also deliver the desired outcomes. When I was invited to present.. My first thought was not, as you might expect what content would I present it was what outfit would I wear to project my energy, connect with the audience and represent the business. Once I had #myo...utfit sorted.. thoughts turned to what shoes to wear.. and as my fellow #womeninbusiness will attest to.. it is either fashion or function because comfortable heels is an urban myth. So do you think I went for the sensible flat shoes designed by Podiatrists with triple layer support for arches and a bunch of other things that are really good for my feet or do think I went for the 4 inch heeled ones where the design matched my outfit, personality and message..? Who do you think got my money?? The same is true in how your present your message in business. It really doesn't matter if you have all the right answers that exactly solve the problems your prospect is currently facing.. without good design the message is lost and you miss out on the sale. So that means that if you have slides that provide all the answers, but they are not designed in such a way that it makes sense to your prospect / decision maker (aka audience) .. YOU WILL MISS OUT ON THE SALE AND LOSE THE DEAL.. What I want you to do is look at your existing slides... and ask yourself 'have I created a clear pathway that leads to my desired outcome?' If the answer is NO or I'M NOT SURE.. I want you to send me a message because I absolutely want you to get your desired outcome every time you present your slides and my formulaic yet bespoke approach to design will help you and your message shine brighter so you can achieve your outcome. p.s. I spent today soaking my sore feet #closethedeal #newbusiness #design

10.01.2022 #presentingtips #speakers #presenters *MIND YOUR LANGUAGE*... When you are presenting or speaking you MUST always remain mindful about the language you are using and how the audience will interpret what you are saying. Othwewise your message will be lost on you audience and you will simply be wasting your and their time. Ask yourself what level of subject matter intelligence does the audience have? Are they novices and hobbyists who have low level subject intielligence with passing interest and limited exposure t o your topic- if so - be sure to do alot of relatable modelling by explaining your concept by using examples and drawing parallels from every day life Are they enthusiasts who have mid-level subject intelligence and have exposure and awareness and are partially invested in your topic - if so - be sure to use the 'what's in it for me' framework Are they experts who have exposure, awareness and a vested interest iwho hve high level topic inelligence in your topic area - if so - be sure to speak in terms of collective results, growth and the greater team benefits. Don't forget to send any questions or thoughts ou have about this my way! HAPPY PRESENTING See more

08.01.2022 #mindset Life in general seems to be just a bit tougher at the moment.. It's crazy times.. but guess what.. it ALWAYS is crazy times. It's just usually we think we can control or influence and have certainty on what it happening around us most of the time..... and with #covid19 we have no influence.. no control.. and seemingly no certainty. When in fact you can create your own certainty.. just be certain for the next week, day, hour or even minute.. but create the certainty that you crave yourself.. it's within your power .. it's within your reach and remember lovely.. you can absolutely handle whatever comes your way.

05.01.2022 Not many people know what Learning Design is, or what it does and therefore many people don't realise how it can transform their business presentations or online courses and help them change more lives. The easiest way to describe it is it is like graphic design.. but for learning.. It's the balance between making something look good but have a learning outcome without the overwhelm ... put simply....

04.01.2022 I was making sooo many excuses for not taking my business to the next level... a big one being I had no where for me to set up and record videos and do live-streams Excuses like the backdrop was horrible , Im too tired .. I need better lighting, its too hot .. I dont want to spend money on this.. its only for me ... the list goes on and on and I kept saying to myself IF ONLY ... It literally stopped me in my tracks So I whinged and whined and made all the excuses which you may recognize as a bad case of - Until I decided that I was behaving in a way that wasnt serving me (or my business) all it was doing was giving me a legitimate reason as to why I didnt have to take action So I did some online browsing (thanks Covid-19) and found this amazing room divider online Then bit by bit I added in some bits and pieces I had bought months ago with visions of using them in my space yet they stayed untouched. The result.. well to be honest .. its not quite finished yet .. but it looks amazing and is such a wonderful space for me to do those videos and live-streams So Im now totally taking ownership of my moments and taking action on them. What are your moments ... those moments that you have a long list of excuses as to youre taking that next step and you keep telling yourself .... .... #ifonly #takeaction #takeimperfectaction #goodisgood #ownyoureveryday #selftalk #selftalkmatters #onestepatatime #nomoreexcuses #whatsyourexcuse #whatsyourgoal #saffronlearning See more

02.01.2022 BALANCING ACT When you are creating your slide deck you must have BALANCE on each individual slide. Both PHYSICAL Balance and CONTENT balance.... The Physical Balance is all about the overall visual aesthetics on the slide, and specifically looking at the use of space, font size and combinations, colours and images. Questions to ask yourself here Does this slide look too busy, is there too much information on my slide that will overwhelm my audience? Can this be seen and read from the back of the room (for face to face presentations)? Is everything displayed on my slide all at once which will lose and confuse my audience? Do I have too many words on my slides (or do I have ONLY words)? Have I used colour to link common ideas? Does the image chosen reflect and reinforce the primary purpose of your slide? Do I layer information on my slides? If you are not sure what I mean, or you'd like to know how to improve your slides... reach out, either by commenting below, sending me a message or emailing me and we can discuss how to make you shine even brighter by leveraging your slides #slidedesign #presentationdesign #businessowner #presenter #speaker #ceo #management #executives #sales #salesreps #trainer #coursecreator #saffronlearning

01.01.2022 #corevalues At Trishi Cotterell - Saffron Learning we have 8 core values. The values dictate what we do and more importantly HOW we do it. I firmly believe that we must EMPOWER TO ACHIEVE ... And this could not have been more evident to me than last week when I briefed on a task I wanted done.. In fact it was my new cover image (banner). The brief included the resources required along with access to some approved images of myself. Words like vibrant, energy and perhaps a little unconventional we used to describe the 'vibe' of the design.. and I delegated the rest of the project. The result .. a design that looks great and represents exactly who I am.. but here's the valuable lesson I learned.. Whilst I absolutely LOVED the end result, I noted that it was not like anything I would have designed for myself.. So I asked myself why.. and here's the thing.... It was purely because I was designing with the lens of self perception through which I was looking .. I invite and encourage you to ask yourself how your are filtering your designs for your presentations.. and maybe also make the decision to EMPOWER TO ACHIEVE your goals. #empower #achieve #learningdesign #instructionaldesign #slideshow #presentations #presentationdesign #innercritic #fresheyes #training
