Because Every Audience Deserves a Voyage
Powerful. Compelling. Entertaining.
Current or aspiring speakers & lecturers may be experts in their field, fluent with their material, but many have limited experience shaping their work into a compelling, entertainment-ready presentation suited to diverse audiences.
There is a significant difference between a keynote speech or workshop curriculum vs an engaging and informative presentation. Whether aboard a ship or in any venue, audiences respond to presentations that take them somewhere — intellectually, emotionally, or imaginatively.
Storytelling. Engagement. Polished.
Robert Neal Marshall helps experts transform their content into masterful, visual, narrative-driven programs that keep guests fully engaged. Robert’s approach using his signature THE VOYAGE METHOD™ treats every presentation as a guided journey that carries audiences from curiosity to understanding, and from understanding to insight.
Robert helps speakers to craft audience-ready, visual and entertaining presentations, and guides speakers to deliver each talk with confidence and charisma.
Presentation. Design. Framework.
The Voyage Method™ is built on the principle that speakers must guide their audience with clarity, connection, and purpose. This is a six-part process for transforming expert content into polished, visually rich presentations.
- V – Visual Storytelling
- O – Organizing the Narrative Arc
- Y – You as Storyteller (authentic voice)
- A – Audience Engagement
- G – Guiding Emotional High Points
- E – Entertainment Value + Expertise Balance
Common Challenges in Speaker Submissions & Presentation Design
A simple truth: Many Speakers are not ready for live audiences.
- Dense academic lectures
- Dry PowerPoint/Keynote slides
- Speakers with knowledge, but minimal stagecraft
- Candidates who underestimate entertainment expectations on ships & public stages
Lecturer bookers and Speaker agencies spend vast hours…
- Reviewing applications
- Rejecting unprepared speakers
- Often coaching candidates internally (not an efficient business operation)
- Struggling to find good storytellers, not just experts
Marshall’s custom services solves real operational pain points.
