Have you ever felt like poking your eyes with needles when creating a slide deck? Felt humiliated and deflated after given an important presentation. Or maybe just embarrassed in front of your family and friends because you’re great story fell flat? No one was paying attention.
Then you’ve been to Presentation Hell.
Post pandemic, we are all making more presentations online than ever before. So, we need new, better skills to raise our presentation game. And, since there are fewer opportunities to speak and meet in person, the stakes are higher. We can’t afford to make a mistake, fall on our face and lose that one precious opportunity to make a 5 star impression.
Even from our phones, we are carrying social media posts, pictures, videos, documents everywhere we go. Every time we pull out our phone to show and tell, we are giving a presentation. It’s another chance to make a great impression. All the world is a stage. All the world is a presentation.

Always a powerful
I've been listening for almost a Month now. This podcast is the most recent. I was very convicted to do the activity of writing out what I would want those closest to me to say at my funeral. Then it hit me. It's not just hoping what I want them to say,but realizing what I am doing now to influence them so that what they say is not just my hope but a reality.
So many gems
Don’t know how I didn’t find this sooner!
Actionable Takeaways Every Episode
I love listening to this podcast, especially when I’m in a work headspace at home! Every episode has actionable takeaways, big and small, that I can immediately apply to my career in presentation skills. I especially enjoyed the episode on Part I: Don’t Kill Your Sister ! Feed Her to a Gorilla Instead. with Special Guest Guerrilla Marketing Expert, Wendy Stevens . However, the podcast broke down the conversation and made it less scary!
