Upon visiting with trainers and presentation content creators, I find the following two statements to be invariably true: 1) The biggest issue that PowerPoint users face is placing too much text on a slide; and 2) The primary reason that people do this is because they ask their slides to function both as the visual for the live presentation and as the printed handout.

The frequency with which this strategy fails is breathtaking. In fact, for the sake of round numbers, let’s just call it 100%. Yes, this will fail every time you attempt it, and you, in turn, become an epic failure for attempting it.

This hour will rescue you from this fate. You will learn a different approach to content creation, you will be delivered from this guaranteed-to-fail practice, and you will distinguish yourself from 99% of people creating training and presentation content today.

Help your workforce shift from the tension of difficult conversations to making progress on important issues. According to a recent study, 65% of people worry about how the other person will react to having a difficult conversation. It’s common for people to avoid difficult conversations or handle them poorly because they feel unprepared or afraid to address challenging issues.

While avoiding difficult conversations may lead to temporary relief, the true underlying issues persist, eventually building into larger problems. Growth happens in effectively addressing challenging issues—both for individuals and organizations.

Learn how to:

• Implement the mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets needed to navigate difficult conversations
• Help yourself and others stay engaged in collaborative dialogue to make progress on important issues
• Set a clear and collaborative tone from the start of the conversation
• Notice emotions in yourself and others that may impact the conversation
• Respond to emotional reactions in the moment to keep the conversation productive
