Everyday Improvement

Many of us struggle with making our meetings or presentations more engaging. We also struggle with pushing through work and tasks we are not excited about. What's the result? Lackluster outcomes or loss of engagement. In this episode we talk about 1 tip to push past that and how to apply it in 3, different, everyday situations.

In this episode we explore two passages from great Stoics, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. These passages give insight into how we can gain the confidence to be a better presenter or shake off a nervous situation. Are you looking to overcome the fear of public speaking or gain confidence to do something you're anxious to approach? Give this episode a listen and look at your situation differently!

When you have a conversation and someone gives you their opinion or an objection, are you HEARING them or SHUTTING them down? In this episode we look at the power of one word and why we should be more careful when we choose to use it. My challenge for you will be to stop.

We have all sat in that one virtual meeting to only sit in the next conference call to then jump onto another one. No? What about only having one call for the day, yet you still can't remember what they said or if you have anything to do after? Are these meetings not sticking with you. The good news is, it's not YOUR fault, the bad news is, it is YOUR fault when you're running the meeting!

In this episode we take a look at two sections of your meeting, and 4 questions to answer to make your meetings stick with your audience. Now when they leave, they will not only remember what you said, but be glad they attended!

In a world where we are living in virtual meetings and calls, we see the effectiveness of these meetings slip. In this episode, we discuss 3 tips to help make your virtual meetings more engaging. Whether that engagement is increased participation or making it easier for your audience, we can make our meetings more efficient and achieve more.

Get ready to set expectations, bring the energy, and hear the BEST word you'll ever hear in your life. Let's rock our next virtual get together.
