Engaging Your Audience

1.     What would you say is the best way to start a presentation? How quickly do you get into the main topic?

The beginning of the presentation is your prime real estate. It’s when your audience decides if you are worth paying attention to or not. In my workshops, I call this the HOOK. You can do this by either asking a question, making a bold statement or telling a story that relates to your topic.

Kennedy, the poet and author Maya Angelou, holocaust survivor and psychotherapist Viktor Frankl, and the Toltec sage Don Ruiz Miguel.

 From panic to productivity: How resilience can show the way

Rapid transformation in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world.

Resilience. Recalibration. Reassessment.

Sometimes we wish things could stay the same, but even the Ancient Greeks knew that change is, paradoxically, a constant in our lives. In fact, we are constantly confronting change, not just in catastrophic ways like meteors, climate change, or a pandemic.  The key question is whether you find functioning in our volatile and uncertain times debilitating or energizing.

Rapid Transformation

Lessons I have learned with Web Marketing Strategist extraordinaire David Asarnow.

Pandemics and plagues have a way of upending people’s lives and shifting the course of history. Starting in the 14th Century, the Black Death killed nearly half of Europe’s population in a calamity that lasted four years and continued to come in waves for over two centuries.

How to build trust with your teams in a hybrid world

In his book “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team,” Patrick Lencioni identifies the heart of dysfunction as a lack of trust.


So, how do we build teams that trust each other, particularly in a hybrid environment?
The first step toward achieving confident cohesion is to help your team members connect with one another on a personal level.

While this is challenging enough to accomplish in person, it is even more difficult when some members of your team have not and may never meet in person.

Own your Zoom Room!!!! You Have to be in it a While Longer

Before 2020 Zoom may not have been part of your vocabulary. In 2021 even if you used a different platform, the verb “to  Zoom” became synonymous with virtual meetings. As we embark on 2022, whatever virtual platform you are using, be it Webex, Microsoft Teams, or the countless other platforms that now exist, the question is, how skilled are you at truly owning your virtual space?

Train Your Brain to Reframe

As we navigate the minefields of our professional and daily lives, we will inevitably face challenging situations, like insults and angry emails, or those passive-aggressive disses, like being ignored and ghosted, or left off an invitation list. Unfortunately, one of the hallmarks of these situations is a lack of communication and information, which makes decoding and responding to them doubly difficult and disempowering.

Retrain Your Brain to Reframe
