DESCRIPTION:
Are you getting the impact you deserve from your leadership and innovation efforts? Does the Boss like you? Do your “best” efforts sometimes feel flat with little forward motion? Something missing?
Fact is, most of us completely ignore the most important factors when we speak and present. And it’s not our fault. We were taught by people who also lacked insight. Just as it was hard to understand astronomy (epicycles) when we believed the Earth was center of everything. So it is also hard to excel in speaking when we believe that words and the abstractions are center of everything. Learn what’s missing and more importantly how to re-invent your mindset to double or triple your effectiveness. Throw off the confused mindset that’s keeping you unpromotable and unremarkable. Learn better techniques. Specific Benefits Include:

1. You’ll learn the most powerful questions to ask when you prepare a presentation
2. You’ll be able to rethink how you design your words and (sometimes) slides
3. Learn how to have more fun and more clarity at the same time.
4. Be less clever and more contagious; Use fewer cerebrations and more celebrations; Lower your funk and raise your fun.
5. BONUS: Learn the word I have completely avoided using so far…

This unique session will be interactive and feature demonstrations of new skills and ideas. Come along and you will get a strategy edge on your colleagues.
