Hometown: Chandler, AZ
With more than 12 years of live and post-production experience, “Storto” (as he’s known) has spent his career envisioning, creating, and executing world-class church and corporate events.
His distinguished leadership skills, high attention to every detail, and industry expertise have been instrumental to a variety of productions, earning him nicknames like “Maestro Storto” and the “Swiss Army Knife.” Along the way, he’s found great passion for cinematography, video editing, animation, and training others on leadership and service.
When he’s not running full speed getting the job done, Storto loves to detach and spend time with his lovely wife, Sydney, and their daughter, Tori. Along with that comes hobbies like collecting cards and competing in local tournaments, exercising/biking around the Gilbert community, reading new books, listening to too many podcasts, serving at his home church, and trying new coffee shops.
Six Useful Pre-Session Event Activities
If you are facilitating a meeting or a corporate event, it is always good to begin with some sort of pre-session activity. You may think these are unnecessary and waste time, but an interactive and constructive pre-session activity sets the stage for a successful and productive meeting.
Are Your PowerPoint Slides for the Audience or Are They a Facilitator Crutch
When you hear the word “PowerPoint,” what comes to your mind? Many would say their thoughts include boring corporate events, long-winded presentations, and possible snoring. PowerPoint slide decks can be illustrative, dynamic visual aids, but they are more commonly designed in a way that prompts audiences to nap rather than engage.
Banish Clip Art!
While clip art may have once served a useful purpose for you or your organization, there are now a plethora of ways to avoid it and find higher quality alternatives instead. We promise, your quest to banish clip art will be easier than you think, and, ultimately, by using better images and illustrations in your presentations and documents, you’ll produce more impactful work.
