SUMMARY:Événement virtuel pour les membres de CAPS - L'effet WOW\, avec Jasmin Bergeron\, CSP
DESCRIPTION:Événement virtuel pour les membres de CAPS – L’effet WOW\, avec Jasmin Bergeron\, CSP\n\n\nL’effet WOW en conférence est percutant! On se souvient longtemps des conférenciers(ères) qui nous font vivre des WOW parce qu’elles sont fascinantes et distinctes. Comment ces conférenciers s’y prennent-ils pour se démarquer et séduire les gens devant eux? C’est dans cette perspective que la présentation « L’effet WOW en conférence! » a été développée. Elle résume les meilleures stratégies reconnues pour provoquer des effets WOW chez les gens qui vous écoute! \nCette présentation est basée sur la pratique\, l’interaction et l’humour. Elle a été conçue en coopération avec plusieurs conférenciers(ères) qui ont su se démarquer par leur habileté à faire vivre des WOW. Pendant la présentation\, des exemples\, des témoignages\, des résultats de recherche et des principes que vous pourrez mettre en application rapidement vous seront suggérés afin de rendre votre expérience aussi enrichissante que possible! \n  \n\n\n\nJasmin Bergeron a donné plus de 2000 conférences et formations\, dans plus de 12 pays à travers le monde! Il est aussi professeur titulaire à l’Université du Québec à Montréal et auteur et co-auteur de cinq livres\, plus de 40 recherches scientifiques et plus de 100 articles dans des journaux comme La Presse\, Les Affaires et le Wall Street Journal. \nLe 24 juillet 2016\, à Phoenix\, en Arizona\, Jasmin Bergeron a reçu son titre de CSP (Certified Speaking Professional)\, qui se veut la plus haute désignation internationale qui puisse être méritée dans l’industrie des conférenciers professionnels à l’échelle mondiale. \n

SUMMARY:Mastering Your Message with Alyssa "Twist" Light!
DESCRIPTION:Mastering Your Message: Crafting Compelling Content and Presentations with Alyssa “Twist” Light!\n\n\nAn Afternoon with Alyssa “Twist” Light! \n* Lunch is Included (Gluten Free Options Available) \n  \nCreating Spectacular Speaker Assets \nHey CAPS Québec! \nReady for a triple-feature of my best programs? \nOn April 10\, 2025\, I will join you for an unforgettable day that will open your eyes to a way of connecting your program descriptions\, social media/LinkedIn content\, and your slide decks in ways you’ve probably never seen before. \nIn Dazzling Program Descriptions\, I’ll demonstrate how to breathe new life into an old program by tapping into your unique brand with the right words and a little pizzazz. I’ll even perform a live\, on-the-spot\, copy (re)crafting. If you think you’ve seen my magic\, this experience alone will be worth your day. \nThen\, in Creating Consistent Content\, I’ll show you how to write one piece of promotional content that you can multiply into ten. We’re all going to be doing this together\, so be sure to bring your laptop! \nFinally\, in Slide Deck Magic\, you’ll learn that your slide deck isn’t really for you — it’s a gift to the audience. As such\, it’s our responsibility as speakers to craft and design decks that are story enhancers\, not storytellers. \nLet me assure you\, my friends: If you get these three things right\, you’ll not only change the way you see yourself\, others will see you differently. \nLet’s make magic! \nTwist \n  \nTwo important notes: \n\nThis program is delivered only in English.\nThe live copywriting session in Creating Consistent Content is best done on a laptop\, rather than with pen and paper.\n\n  \n\n\n\nAlyssa “Twist” Light is a dynamic keynote speaker who empowers professionals to build connections and relationships that drive real business growth. Twist’s mission is to make event planners look like superheroes and their attendees feel like rockstars. \nAfter winning a provincial award to start her first business at 17\, she attended college for Goldsmithing and successfully crafted the 20th anniversary gifts for Blue Rodeo. Her forthcoming book\, Lessons from the Lake\, uses powerful insights from nature to help those who feel stuck in their journey\, offering fresh perspectives on cutting through darkness in business and life to illuminate a brighter light ahead. \n
