High-Stakes Presentations for Designers

Description

You've done the work. The research is thorough, the rationale is sound, and the solution is right for the business. But something happens between the work and the room. Insights get buried under questions about timelines. Strategic thinking collapses into "let's revisit next quarter." The meeting ends with polite nods and no decision made.

The problem isn't the quality of your work. It's that great work doesn't communicate itself. It needs to be framed, sequenced, and positioned for the people in the room, and most designers were never taught how to do that at a strategic level.

Drawing from 200 or more high-stakes presentations delivered for Google, Amazon, Meta, Stripe, and others, Rinaldo breaks down exactly what separates presentations that get decisions made from ones that get deferred. This workshop teaches you to read your stakeholders before you enter the room, frame your ideas around what actually matters to leadership, and build the kind of buy-in that means the formal presentation is almost a formality. You will leave with a communication framework, a completed stakeholder map, and a ready-to-use narrative for your next high-stakes presentation.

Who is it for?

Senior ICs, team leads, design managers, heads of design, and directors who are doing strong work but losing influence at the presentation layer. If your insights are getting buried, your recommendations are getting deferred, or you're leaving high-stakes meetings without a clear decision, this workshop is for you. It is for designers who are ready to communicate at the level their work deserves.
