Simon Morton founded Europe’s leading presentation design company Eyeful Presentations in 2004. His goal was big but simple – support businesses to create more powerful, engaging, and effective presentations that make the most of opportunities and deliver results. 12 years, thousands of presentations, and millions of engaged audience members later, Eyeful’s mission continues. Simon’s book, The Presentation Lab continues to make waves and has been released around the world in 6 languages. He is globally recognized as a thought leader in the field of presentations and now dedicates much of his time to speaking, writing, or coaching businesses on how to make the most of every presentation opportunity.
In this conversation, Simon talks about the true cost of presentations in business today.
