Hello everyone, I'm excited to announce

✨ London UX Bookclub event with Ben Sauer ✨

Come and join us to discuss Death By Screens by Ben Sauer.

💥 Ben will join the event to discuss his book with us, share his reflections and answer your questions. 💥

The book - Death by Screens: how to present high-stakes digital-design work and live to tell the tale

Storytelling is the key to others' hearts and minds, and it's not different in business. We all experienced moments when an essential presentation got derailed or when we failed to unlock the right next steps with our stakeholders. The good news is that in Death by Screens, Ben managed to distil heaps of experience into concise, actionable advice.

In Ben's own words: "It will teach you a method of presenting that ensures your stakeholders will get that elusive ‘it’: why you’ve designed it that way, not just what you’ve designed.

The secret isn't what you say about the design, it's the story around it. You’ll learn the less obvious parts of preparing a design presentation: what to say, what to show, in what order, how to do it with confidence, and how to have productive conversations with stakeholders.

Whether you’re presenting in a high-stakes scenario or not, Death by Screens teaches you how to be a strong communicator, vital to developing a successful design career."
