There are books and workshops and creative consultants that expound on the RIGHT way to use Powerpoint (or Keynote if you own a Mac). Let's cut to the chase — here are my 5 Must Do's when it comes to a presentation:
How To Always Make A Great First Impression.
Have You Shut Down?
Why Do Insurance Companies Think We're Idiots?
Lighten Up.
Are You Prepared?

Why Leaders Can't Coach.
"All coaching is, is taking a player where he can't take himself." - Bill McCartney When executives coach, they commonly make the mistake of downplaying their role as the boss. Confusion occurs with the associate and coaching fails.

Let's face it — many of the meetings we attend — well — suck. Why does this happen? We have an agenda. Everyone is present. No one is distracted. Why is it when we're surveyed, meetings rank at the bottom of any business experience? Because most people don't know how to run them. So here are 5 simple tips to make your meetings run efficiently:
Thank You UBS!
WOW. What a great day at UBS! Thank you again for attending my workshop - we had a packed house in Stamford and from what I hear, huge attendance records at the other locations and online!
Based on the feedback so far, everyone had a powerful experience.
First off, a big thank you to Liz Cresci — the consummate host and coordinator for the event. I've never done a video-webinar/audio webinar/in-person workshop — so I apologize for the constant spinning around in my seat to accomodate everyone!

Enjoy the rest of the summer and I hope you have an unbelievable 2011!

Netflix, What Are You Thinking?
One of my most respected and admired businesses, Netflix, unveiled major changes to their pricing structure. If you are a customer, you probably received an email yesterday announcing the price increase. Netflix just asked me to pay a 33% increase in fees for THE SAME SERVICE. My current package (2 CD's and Streaming Movies) used to cost $14.99 per month — now they want me to pay $19.98 per month.
