    Episode 3: Executive Presence is for everyone

    Executive presence isn't just for executives. The aspects we recognize as showcasing executive presence in those we admire are aspects we can all be mindful of and practice to boost our own career potential. We can demonstrate executive presence in both F2F and online-WFH environments, so it's important to understand what to do, what to look for, and how to develop your presence in your own engagements.  Check out this episode to learn what it's all about.

    Episode 2: Cognitive Science Gives Us A New Plan

    If planning a presentation means sitting down with PowerPoint and typing your thoughts directly into a slide deck, this episode is for you. Like countless other professionals, you begin with your own thoughts and your planning largely includes translating those thoughts into text on your slides. However, we know the outcome of this sort of plan leads to less-than-optimal outcomes. Audiences don't resonate with slides full of text. Even worse, cognitive science demonstrates that our brains can't even process that text efficiently while simultaneously listening to live speech. In this episode, you'll learn a better way to plan for better presentation outcomes. Learn what cognitive science has taught us about how audiences take in, process, and retain information in our presentations. You'll walk away with a new way to plan your next talk and a new way to connect with your audience.
