Bangkok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) --05/12/2011 -- Have you and your colleagues been subjected to boring and endless bullet points presentations?

If you want to know how to present like Steve Jobs, then join us on Wednesday, May 25th, where Khun Dumkerng Raiwa, a seasoned mind mapping trainer, will show you how to organize information using applied mind mapping and combine it with Presentation Zen concept, a method that capture the audiences’ attention and deliver a clear message. Designed to take your presentation to another level, this technique will get people to pay attention to your presentation and help you achieve the desired result.
