Today's Mini Moved Me is about the concept of holding "the con." Not a "con-man" - or even that Star Trek villain. No, it's about who is steering your presentation ship. 

Scott Schwertly is a presentation design GURU. Honestly, I'm so pumped that we got a chance to talk (especially because he JUST HAD A BABY!) - but also because I really admire and appreciate his work at Ethos3. In this episode of This Moved Me, Scott and I talked about how he focuses on both the art - and the science - of presentation development.  Ethos3 works to "out-teach" the competition, focusing on the science behind all of those top 10 lists to becoming a better speaker.

On this week's Mini Moved Me, I talk briefly about the power of making people laugh AND making them cry.

Carla Rieger is a speaker, comedian, improvisor, performer - who turned all those skills into becoming a business consultant and entrepreneur at Artistry of Change. In this episode of This Moved Me, Carla and I talk about her journey from being someone who struggled with a speech impediment to someone who speaks about creativity, innovation and change management. And she lives it out, as well - pushing boundaries, challenging herself, innovating and creating change.

Today's Mini Moved Me is about the importance of editing.  Saying less with more impact.

In this episode of This Moved Me, Paul brought to the table this idea of being a 4:3 person living in a 16:9 world. Intriguing! What does he mean by that?  Well, we dive into it here.

Today's Mini Moved Me is about how we can become more self-aware of our habits - by mapping your content. So, how do you "map" your content? I talk about this useful tool on today's Mini Moved Me...  

In this episode of This Moved Me, Hank and I delved into HOW he creates talks week after week with the same kind of passion and intentionality that he brings to each talk. Hank is a talk-crafting master, thanks to the thousands of hours he has spent building and re-building talk after talk. In this slightly longer episode (I just couldn't cut anything!) - Hank shares his insights, ideas and approaches to crafting a talk.
