Emotions exert a major influence in the way we deal with teams, employees, colleagues and customers. We can’t divorce ourselves from the emotions that shape our thinking. They determine success or failure, without us even realising.

The latest neuroscience research shows that success and peak performance are within everyone’s grasp because talent and ability can actually grow.

Neuroscience explains why all too often we are promised tools and techniques that claim to improve our leadership, with little understanding of how or why they work. Neuroscience answers the question ‘why should I lead like this and not like that?’

Understanding why drives real behaviour change. It prevents misunderstanding and takes leadership to a whole new level. Your leaders will start to think and act differently, and that change will stick. Research shows that adopting a growth mindset can double productivity.

Because we all deserve a do-over

If you are a golfer, your favorite word is “mulligan.” That’s when you hit a dreadful shot, usually into a forest or a lake, and you drop a second ball at your feet and essentially proclaim, “that one didn’t count.” You then hit again and go on your merry way, a happier camper for it.

In PowerPoint parlance, our mulligan is the makeover – that fantastic and fantastical opportunity to press Pause and create an alternate reality. That horrible slide with eight long-winded bullets and a postage-stamp photo? No, you didn’t mean to do that. It doesn’t count. You get a do-over. Mulligan!

Makeovers are the most popular of all seminars offered at the Presentation Summit, the annual conference for the industry.

But what exactly is a makeover?

Is it just the prettying up of a bad slide? In fact, there are many forms of PowerPoint mulligans, and they all might be on display during this hour:

1. Message: 
   • Well-intended content creators often lose sight of the story they mean to tell.
2. Structure: 
   • If the foundation of your presentation is flawed (like trying to crate slides that serve both as visuals and as handouts), you will be swimming upstream the whole time.
3. Slide design:
   • The classic case of “who created this sludge and how can we fix it?”
4. PowerPoint technique:
   • Most users of the software are undertrained and rarely go below the surface of PowerPoint’s feature set. That can have a profound effect on how they build their slides and deliver their presentations.
5. Delivery: 
   • A well-designed presentation both relies on and encourages presenters to be at the top of their games.

If you have slides that need a mulligan, send them to Rick – he might make them over during this hour. That would be a $1,500 design session that you would get for free.  Upload slides here.

2020 saw major changes in companies’ talent acquisition strategies. Recent shifts in the workplace — the rise of remote work, alternating hiring slowdowns and ramp-ups, and heightened attention to DEI — will continue to inform hiring and recruiting in the year ahead.
