Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter. Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker. Going all the way back to the very first tip in this series, over-designing your slideshow or prioritizing your PowerPoint over your speech is one of the most common mistakes there are in speech writing. We have an old blog post on our website with videos being released on the Fearless Presentations YouTube right now over the amount of slides you should be including in your presentation (depending on the length) and chances are, it's quite a bit less than you are doing now. So go check those out to get a full understanding of the tip.Show Notes: 101 Public Speaking Tips For Delivering Your Best Speech(https://www.fearlesspresentations.com/101-public-speaking-tips-for-delivering-your-best-speech/)

In today's Cloud Wars Agent and Copilot Minute, I look at how screen-aware Copilots, task-based agents, and multimodal interfaces are reshaping enterprise work — and why identity, permissions, and access guardrails now matter more than ever.Highlights00:30 — Two experts, Brian Madden, Vice President and Field Technology Officer and Futurist at Citrix, and Marco Casalaina, Vice President of Products, Core AI and an AI Futurist at Microsoft, hosted a session at this year's Microsoft Ignite conference titled “Develop Your Enterprise Playbook to Prepare for the AI of Tomorrow.”00:58 — I want to share some key takeaways. Madden laid out a seven-stage roadmap for human–AI collaboration. Steps included simple prompt and paste, the first introduction to AI; next, AI as an analyst for colleagues; followed by AI watching your screen; AI using your computer for you; AI using your computer without you watching; multi-agent AI communication; and the final step: AI-orchestrated work.01:55 — Ultimately, AI needs to work where human knowledge workers work, because the world we live in today is built for humans, and the way that AI will succeed is by operating within this user space and emulating humans in practice. Users talk to AI, and AI talks to the applications and workflows on behalf of the user.02:34 — The discussion moved on to the notion of apps dissolving into data, ultimately AI talking directly to the data without going through an application. Casalaina demonstrated this by running Anthropic's Claude on Azure and giving it the skills to create a PowerPoint. It did — without using PowerPoint. It made the slides in HTML and then converted them without ever opening the PowerPoint application. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Benjamin Netter navigue dans un univers où une simple erreur de clic peut coûter des millions.Un monde où l'humain est souvent la première faille, et où la menace est devenue si sophistiquée que même un Bac + 8 peut tomber dans le piège.Tout ça, il l'a vécu chez October, la plateforme de prêts aux entreprises qu'il avait cofondée.Un simple email de phishing a suffi pour compromettre leurs systèmes.Et là, c'est le déclic : si sa boîte peut se faire piéger, alors des milliers d'entreprises sont en danger.Il teste d'abord sa propre équipe, 15 % se font prendre, même la CFO.Benjamin comprend que la cybersécurité ne peut plus être un sujet réservé aux experts.Elle doit devenir un réflexe collectif.Il quitte tout, lance RIOT, et décide de protéger le maillon le plus vulnérable, l'employé.Aujourd'hui, RIOT accompagne 1 500 entreprises, protège 1,5 million d'employés, et double son revenu chaque année.L'objectif, atteindre 20 millions d'ARR d'ici la fin de l'année.RIOT envoie des fausses attaques pour tester les équipes, analyse les comportements et déploie un compagnon cyber intelligent qui sensibilise chaque employé de manière personnalisée.Une pédagogie moderne, directe, qui ressemble davantage à un coach individuel qu'à un audit poussiéreux sur PowerPoint.Après 2 millions levés auprès de Y Combinator, puis 45 millions au total auprès d'autres fonds, Benjamin garde la même philosophie : construire une boîte faite pour durer, pas pour impressionner.Dans cet épisode, découvrez les coulisses d'un marché qui explose, pourquoi les LLM ont rendu les cybercriminels encore plus dangereux, et comment RIOT se prépare à devenir une référence mondiale.Bonne écoute !===========================

Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC Podcast, where we bring you the people and perspectives shaping European venture.Today, we're joined by Adrian Locher, co-founder and GP at Merantix Capital, the Berlin-based AI venture capital firm and venture studio that's just planted its flag in London. Known for building and investing in AI-first companies from the ground up, Mirantix operates at the intersection of venture creation, community, and applied AI consulting — a model Adrian argues is especially well-suited to the AI age.In this conversation, we dive into the reality of the studio model, what makes it work (and not), and why Adrian believes validation with paying customers before a single line of code is written is the ultimate early-stage filter.

Nicolas Framont est sociologue engagé et auteur du percutant Saint Luigi, un ouvrage aussi provocateur que nécessaire.Dans cet épisode, nous discutons ensemble d'un fait divers que vous avez forcément vu passer : Luigi Mangione, accusé d'avoir assassiné de sang-froid le CEO de United Healthcare, est pourtant célébré comme un héros sur les réseaux sociaux. Pourquoi une telle admiration pour un homme soupçonné de meurtre ? Que cela dit-il de notre société en particulier aux U.S. ? Pourquoi, dans un monde où l'on vénère la réussite financière, un tel renversement des rôles suscite-t-il autant d'adhésion populaire ?Avec Nicolas, nous avons décortiqué cette affaire pour aller bien au-delà du fait divers. Dans la lignée des épisodes avec Antoine Foucher sur l'impossibité structurelle de s'enrichir. par son travail en France mais aussi celui avec Caroline Miguel Aguirre sur le scandale de l'argent public, nous avons abordé les dysfonctionnements profonds du neo liberallsme, le sentiment d'injustice sociale, le rôle des grandes entreprises, mais aussi la manière dont le système politique et médiatique amplifie ces déséquilibres.J'ai aussi voulu comprendre avec lui la place des classes sociales aujourd'hui, ce qu'il appelle la "sous-bourgeoisie", et pourquoi tant de décisions prises "en col blanc" peuvent générer une violence invisible, mais bien réelle.Cet échange va, je pense, profondément vous questionner sur notre monde, sur le rôle des élites, sur les logiques économiques dans lesquelles nous sommes pris… et sur ce qu'on peut, ou doit, en faire.Cinq citations marquantes :« Il y a des gens qui donnent la mort par PowerPoint. »« Ce n'est pas une critique morale, c'est une critique systémique. »« On a basculé d'un État-providence pour les gens à un État-providence pour les riches. »« Le capitalisme ne fait plus rêver. »« On célèbre des assassins parce qu'ils symbolisent une révolte contre l'ordre établi. »10 questions structurées posées :Pourquoi avoir choisi d'écrire sur Luigi Mangione et d'en faire une icône ?Que dit la popularité de cet homme accusé de meurtre sur notre société ?Le problème est-il l'individu (Brian Thompson) ou le système dans lequel il évolue ?Peut-on encore parler de responsabilité individuelle dans un système si hiérarchisé ?Comment expliques-tu qu'on célèbre un assassin et qu'on continue de voter pour Trump ?La France est-elle réellement un pays aussi "social" qu'on le prétend ?Peut-on vraiment imaginer une société sans classe dominante ?Est-ce que toi aussi, à leur place, tu aurais agi pareil ?Quelles sont les alternatives concrètes au capitalisme ?Comment rendre les rapports de pouvoir plus éphémères ou égalitaires ?

While working this past week preparing my Sunday morning lesson, all of a sudden, I found myself without internet service. I rely on my service for office phones and auto backup of my work, along with gathering materials for my PowerPoint presentations. I immediately knew what happened. A boring crew was installing a new underground fiber optic cable one street over. They accidentally hit and broke the cable my internet service is on. Well, to make a long story short, I got my service back 24 hours later and I was way behind in my work. Of course, wouldn't you...Article Link

Send me a messageWhat if 70–95% of your emissions sit on farms you've never even seen?And what happens to your supply chain when those farms face depleted soils, rising costs, and climate shocks all at once?In this episode, I'm joined by Rhyannon Galea and Kristjan Luha from eAgronom, a team helping thousands of farmers across Europe shift to regenerative practices and generate the credible primary data food companies now need for Scope 3 reporting. We dig into why agriculture remains the most opaque, and most consequential, part of modern supply chains, and why resilience increasingly begins in the soil rather than the warehouse.You'll hear how complex value chains, missing data, and inconsistent incentives have kept Scope 3 action stuck on PowerPoint for years, and how that's finally starting to change. We uncover why regenerative agriculture can strengthen yields and resilience, yet still takes five careful seasons to transition. And you might be surprised to learn how tractors, satellites, and field-level sensors are quietly rewriting how companies measure emissions, reward farmers, and prepare for CSRD and SBTi FLAG.If you're wrestling with Scope 3, agricultural emissions, or supply chain resilience, this one will give you a clearer path through the noise.

On this episode, we define osteoporosis and describe its clinical presentations, underlying pathophysiology, and common etiologies. We compare and contrast the efficacy, safety profiles, and appropriate use of various antiresorptive and anabolic agents used in osteoporosis management.

Remember, Over the last 14 years, I have done everything I can to help as many #jobseekers as possible via Power Point presentations, documents , speaking engagements and now LinkedIn presentations that LinkedIn promotes for me. I also, whenever possible, scroll down my feed and every time I see a person that is #opentowork, I drop an invite to my next #LinkedInLive event or if I am not having one my #YouTube page that has hundreds of videos and audio events. I know that I have helped thousands of people in some way to get out of the canyon called #Unemployment and back into the job world. I could've charged a lot of money to a lot of people over the years because my stuff works and it works fast if you are someone that goes and attacks challenges. I don't charge people a lot of money because they need their money to eat and pay their rent and provide for their family when they are unemployed because they don't know when that nightmare will end. That is why I don't make it a giant moneymaking endeavor. I do this from the heart because I never forget how bad it felt to be unemployed and how awful every day was until I knew what my next job was. That said, I cannot believe when someone is offered free help from someone who has been doing it for as long as I have that they would ignore my invite and not come to the event. All I will say is here is an invite to my next event and if you are a #jobseeker you should come because something I say will help you to get in next great opportunity. It's different for every person, but something will resonate. With all of the people being mistreated and ghosted and punched in the face on this platform by people who have no interest in helping, I offer all I can give you to help you get back on your feet.

Eric and Marty diving into classroom polling and quiz apps—like Poll Everywhere, Mentimeter, and others—that allow professors to gather instant student feedback. Live polls inject interactivity into lectures and have been shown to improve attention, participation, and retention.Quick Tips for Success:·       Integrate polls directly into PowerPoint or Keynote (Poll Everywhere plug-in).·       Use open-ended questions sparingly; they work best for brainstorming.·       Try a pre-lecture quiz to gauge understanding and a post-quiz to reinforce learning.·       Encourage students to create their own polls for peer learning.Practical Approaches·       Keep polls short — 1–3 quick questions maintain energy.·       Use polls as transitions between lecture segments.·       Visualize results instantly to spark discussion.·       Rotate between tools to match class size and goals.·       Record responses and trends to inform future lessons.Popular Platforms for Faculty:- Poll Everywhere – https://www.polleverywhere.com- Mentimeter – https://www.mentimeter.com- Kahoot! – https://kahoot.com/- Slido – https://www.slido.com/-  Socrative – https://www.socrative.com/- Quizizz – https://quizizz.com/- Nearpod – https://nearpod.com/ -Booket - Booket.com - Quizlet - Quizlet.com Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: https://ThePodTalk.netYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TechSavvyProfessorFind us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, TuneIn, and all major podcast platforms.

Grant Lee was told Gamma was "the worst idea ever heard" by an investor who hung up mid-Zoom—yet he built it to 100 million users and $100M ARR without spending a dollar on advertising.While competitors hired aggressively, Grant's team of seven refused to grow, dedicating 25% of their tiny team to design and personally onboarding every influencer themselves. They reveal how ignoring AI for their first two years, then orchestrating multiple models in ways the frontier labs can't replicate, let them steal the presentation market from Microsoft and Google—going from 60,000 signups in eight months to 50,000 per day. Resources:Follow Grant on X: https://x.com/thisisgrantleeFollow Sarah on X: https://x.com/sarahdingwangFollow Olivia on X: https://x.com/omooretweets Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Most candidates talk about what they can do. The best ones show it. When an employer asks for a presentation, it's not a test of PowerPoint skills. It's a test of whether you understand what they actually buy: transformation, not tasks. Your goal isn't to list skills or repeat your resume. It's to prove you can help them hit their goals and do it through a well-structured story. This week's lesson shows you how to prepare a presentation that persuades and sells your value. You'll learn how to: Identify what the employer truly wants to achieve. Uncover the real problems standing in their way. Choose powerful examples that prove you can solve those problems. Structure your presentation so it flows naturally and ends with impact. Highlight your skills as evidence, not filler. Inside, I'll even show you how to use a single summary slide that ties everything together and seals the deal. Listen to How to Give a Job Interview Presentation (That Gets You Hired) now!

In this episode of Coffey & Code, host Ashley Coffey sits down with Jason Marsh — founder and CEO of Flow Immersive— to explore how AI, AR, and spatial computing are transforming the way we visualize and interact with data.Marsh, a veteran technologist with over 50 years of coding experience and a former Apple engineer, shares how Flow Immersive is replacing 2D slide decks with immersive 3D data stories powered by artificial intelligence. From visualizing Medicare and financial data in augmented reality to powering data storytelling at the United Nations General Assembly, Flow is changing how leaders collaborate, communicate, and make data-driven decisions.Listeners will learn:How AI and AR smart glasses create interactive, multi-user data environments.Why Flow Immersive's “speak with your data” feature lets users query and visualize information in real time.The challenges and breakthroughs of building multi-user AI systems for the enterprise.Why the boardrooms of the future will feature floating, collaborative 3D visualizations instead of flat PowerPoint slides.How Marsh defines “cool” as mastery and control — the ultimate intersection of human intuition and technology.Whether you're curious about the future of spatial computing, AI-driven storytelling, or immersive collaboration, this conversation is a front-row look at how data visualization is evolving from slides to holograms.

The first step to transformation is to stop doing what no longer works." – Marcia Daszko On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sat down with Marcia Daszko, a visionary leadership consultant and author of Pivot, Disrupt, Transform: How Leaders Beat the Odds and Survive. Marcia's journey—from being "excruciatingly shy" to mentoring leaders at Apple, Boeing, and the U.S. Navy—reveals a rare combination of courage, curiosity, and clarity. Her lessons, rooted in the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, challenge leaders to abandon outdated management practices and embrace a deeper, systems-based way of thinking. From Management Fads to Meaningful Leadership Marcia began her career in marketing before being mentored by Dr. Perry Gluckman, a close associate of Dr. Deming, who revolutionized management thinking through systems theory and continuous improvement. What she learned was not just what to do, but how to think. Too often, organizations chase the latest management fad—Six Sigma, Lean, "best practices"—without understanding the systems that create real success. Marcia calls these "tragedies" because they add complexity without meaning. She estimates that 50 to 80 percent of organizational waste comes from such misguided efforts. Her process begins with a bold question: "What do we need to stop doing?" Once leaders remove what's not working, they can open the flow of communication, creativity, and collaboration—what Marcia calls the "system of profound knowledge." When systems make sense, people thrive. Watch the podcast here: Learning to See Differently Like many of my guests, Marcia helps organizations "see, feel, and think" in new ways. She starts by asking questions that uncover hidden assumptions and systemic barriers. Employees usually know what's wrong, she says, but no one listens. When she leads workshops, she doesn't rely on PowerPoint slides. Instead, she creates experiences—conversations, simulations, and reflections—that shift perspectives. "I don't get resistance," she explains, "because the exercises take care of that." It's an anthropologist's insight wrapped in a strategist's toolkit: people don't change because they're told to—they change because they experience a new way of being together. The Strategic Compass for an Uncertain Future In today's world of disruption, Marcia argues that leaders don't need a roadmap—they need a compass. The future can't be predicted; it must be navigated through exploration, experimentation, and learning. Her Strategic Compass helps executives pivot as they encounter new "rivers and mountains" in their business landscape. Leadership, she reminds us, is not about control but curiosity. The most powerful organizations foster environments where everyone can learn, question, and contribute. Her three "legs of the stool" are: Innovation as a business strategy Continuous improvement as a business strategy Quality as a business strategy Sadly, she says, quality and customer service—once foundational to success—have too often been forgotten. Building a Culture of Trust and Curiosity Both Marcia and I share a passion for culture change. She emphasizes that great leaders reduce fear and build trust. When people feel safe, they can be curious and collaborative. It's not enough to post company values on a wall; leaders must define the behaviors that bring those values to life. Her workshops often transform even the most rigid workplaces. In one session, an employee of 15 years said it was the first time he had felt truly appreciated and engaged. That's the power of inclusion, curiosity, and respect in action. Leading in the Age of AI As we discussed the rise of artificial intelligence, Marcia was unequivocal: "If you're afraid of AI, you'll be left behind." She sees AI not as a threat but as a tool for learning and transformation. The challenge, she warns, is to build guardrails—policies and ethics that guide its use responsibly. In an age when consulting firms can generate proposals in minutes, leaders must rethink how people create value. The winners will be those who empower their teams to use new tools, think critically, and continuously learn. Key Takeaways Stop before you start. Identify and eliminate wasteful management practices that add complexity without results. Think in systems. Every part of your organization is interconnected. Problems are rarely isolated. Create flow. Open channels for communication, creativity, and collaboration. Replace fear with trust. People thrive when they feel safe to contribute. Stay curious. Learning is not a phase—it's a way of life. Use AI wisely. Embrace new tools, but balance innovation with ethical governance. What You Can Do Next Run a "Stop Doing" audit. Gather your team and list processes or habits that no longer serve your mission. Eliminate one per quarter. Host a curiosity circle. Ask open-ended questions like, "What assumptions are we making?" or "What would our customers say if they were in this room?" Map your system. Visualize how information, decisions, and accountability flow. Look for bottlenecks or blind spots. Pair technology with humanity. Use AI or analytics to inform—not replace—human judgment. Model the behavior you want to see. As Marcia says, leadership begins when everyone sees themselves as a leader. Marcia Daszko's work reminds us that transformation is not about new tools—it's about new thinking. If you're ready to pivot from managing the past to creating the future, this episode will show you how.

Fast forward twenty-five years, and she's the Chief Marketing Officer at Intact Insurance, leading one of the most ambitious rebrands in the industry from RSA Insurance to Intact and shaping how marketing, data and innovation work together in a company of 30,000 people.In this conversation, Imen joins Conor at Intact House in Dublin to talk about the twists and leaps that built her career. She tells the story of the seven PowerPoint slides that convinced CEO Charles Brindamour to start The Intact Lab, an experiment that began with seven people and now employs over a thousand specialists in data, AI and customer experience.She explains what innovation really looks like inside a business built on managing risk. how you protect teams so they can experiment, why “failing fast” only works if you decide fast, and what it takes to turn ideas into impact.You'll also hear how she applies the same mindset to marketing and why “Technology gives you speed. Storytelling gives you meaning.” As well as how the global Intact rebrand was “not a marketing project, but a company-wide one.” and why she believes creativity in insurance starts with culture, not slogans.It's an honest, practical conversation about leadership, experimentation, and brand building from one of Canada's most respected marketing executives recorded on the day the Intact name officially launched in Ireland, the UK and Europe02:30 – Teaching people how to use a mouse (and falling in love with the internet)04:50 – Lessons from agency life at Cassette06:20 – The late-night call that brought her into insurance08:00 – Finding purpose in a data-driven industry09:45 – “I have an idea”: how The Intact Lab began10:50 – Protecting teams to innovate13:40 – The 30-day rule and rapid prototyping15:10 – “Fail fast” only works with fast decisions17:30 – Moving from Chief Digital Officer to CMO20:10 – Mentorship and learning from Anne Fortin23:00 – “Technology gives you speed.

If it feels like we've been here before—it's because we have. Day 38 of the government shutdown has Congress stuck in the political version of Groundhog Day, where everyone swears this time they'll fix it, only to hit “repeat” like a Netflix user who fell asleep on episode one. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is officially stepping off the stage—for real this time. It's the political equivalent of your favorite performer announcing their farewell tour… again. But this one might actually stick, since she's earned enough standing ovations to rival Broadway's finest. Back here in New York, the post-election mood feels like the confetti never showed up. “The Statue That Never Was” takes center stage for why Curtis Sliwa didn't drop out—a project that went from “visionary tribute” to “budget whoopsie” faster than you can say “city permit pending.” Over at City Hall, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is still workshopping his hit single, “Safety, But Make It Community.” Picture it: subway outreach teams, health workers in vacant storefronts, and a whole new agency devoted to making you feel warm and fuzzy on your morning commute—assuming the MTA cooperates and your train ever arrives. It's bold, it's ambitious, and it's one bad PowerPoint transition away from a TED Talk. Finally, as the credits roll on this week's political chaos, we close with something rare: gratitude. It doesn't trend, it doesn't go viral, and it definitely doesn't filibuster—but it still changes everything. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, Republican U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik is expected to announce a run for New York governor, according to two people familiar with her plans.New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani made a triumphant trip to Puerto Rico for an annual summit that brings New York politicians and lobbyists to sunny San Juan for strategy meetings, workshops and boozy confabs.And in Washington, a former Justice Department employee who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during President Donald Trump's law enforcement surge in Washington was found not guilty of assault in the latest legal rebuke of the federal intervention.

Véra Kempf n'a pas créé une startup comme les autres.Elle a bouleversé un monde figé depuis des siècles, celui de l'art.En 2017, elle cofonde Singulart avec Denis Fayolle, l'entrepreneur derrière La Fourchette.À l'époque, elle n'a qu'un PowerPoint en main, mais une idée audacieuse : permettre à chaque artiste, où qu'il soit, d'exister sans passer par le filtre des galeries.Elle lève 1 million d'euros dès le départ, puis 71 millions au total, pour faire de sa plateforme l'une des plus influentes au monde.Avant Singulart, les artistes vivaient à la merci d'un système opaque, dépendants des galeries et de leur carnet d'adresses.Véra Kempf a tout inversé pour que les créateurs puissent reprendre le contrôle.Ils fixent leurs prix, suivent leurs ventes, connaissent leurs statistiques.Et l'art s'ouvre enfin à ceux qui en étaient exclus.Singulart permet une expérience fluide et clé en main pour acheter une œuvre en ligne, la faire livrer partout dans le monde, en toute sécurité.L'art ne se contemple plus seulement, il circule, il vit, il s'invite chez soi.6 000 artistes, 110 pays, 1 000 œuvres vendues par mois.Véra Kempf n'a pas seulement digitalisé l'art, elle l'a rendu humain, accessible et transparent.Lauréate du Bold Woman Award by Veuve Clicquot, elle incarne une nouvelle génération de fondatrices qui osent parler du réel.Parce qu'être mère et entrepreneuse, c'est un double combat, mais aussi une double victoire.Dans ce podcast, elle nous prouve qu'on peut bâtir un empire sans jamais renoncer à sa sincérité.Bonne écoute !===========================

How you share your work with others does a lot of heavy lifting for you. Despite the myriad ways you can show what you make—through social media, websites, private viewing links, or even WhatsApp screenshots—curators, collectors, commissioners, and gallerists still rely on one timeless format - the curated artist portfolio. So, in today's episode, Ceri walks you through how to create an artist PDF catalogue—a portable, compelling visual story that does justice to your work. She looks at what it is, why it matters, what to include, and how to make it feel unmistakably you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Think of your PDF as your practice in portable form. It should do three things - show what you make - show why it matters and make it easy to connect with you and your work. Your portfolio should feel like an extension of your practice. But don´t try and shove everything in like an overstuffed sofa. Instead, curate your best pieces. Start with a hero image, and choose others that help you to tell your story. PDFs can circulate offline, be printed or saved to desktops. They travel further than you can. Sometimes landing in rooms you didn't even know you were being discussed in Your portfolio isn't a tombstone it's a living document. It should evolve as you do and should flow like a story. During the episode, Ceri shares full details of her recommended order and formatting, for each page. BEST MOMENTS “How you share your work with others does a lot of heavy lifting for you.” “Your PDF is your story distilled. It's your visual CV, artist statement and show reel all in one.” “Your portfolio should feel like an extension of your practice, whether your work is bold, tender, chaotic or refined, let that inform your visual choices, typeface, colour, accents, pacing, even a handwritten note or sketch can help communicate tone.” “Think art magazine, not PowerPoint. Let the work lead. Minimal doesn't mean boring. It means confident.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. **** Ceri Hand Coaching Membership: Group coaching, live art surgeries, exclusive masterclasses, portfolio reviews, weekly challenges.

Product marketing—marketing's favorite misunderstood stepchild or just expensive project management in disguise? Pranav Piyush (ex-Dropbox, ex-Bill, founder of Paramark) joins the crew to drop some inconvenient truths: most PMMs are stuck doing thankless work because nobody knows who actually runs the business. We're talking hypothesis-driven thinking, why talking to customers isn't optional, the statistical traps that make your research garbage, and why that rebrand probably won't save your pipeline. Also:The "HIPPO problem" destroying 90% of PMM effectivenessThe three data pitfalls that make your research worthless (cherry-picking is just the start)Why statistics courses should be mandatory for every marketerThe hypothesis-based approach that turns opinions into provable strategiesWhy measuring creative team productivity is a complete waste of timeThe incrementality blind spot: 99% of B2B orgs have no clue about their marketing ROIActivity metrics you should ignore vs. the engagement signals that actually matterIf you've ever felt like a glorified PowerPoint factory or wondered why your data never wins arguments, this episode will either validate your existence or make you question everything.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Today we are going behind the scenes to talk about how to create engaging class lessons that keep students interested and make your counseling program run smoothly all year long. 1. How to Map Out Lessons for the Year Start by looking at your school calendar and noting upcoming dates, themes, and holidays. For example, October is Bullying Prevention Month, which is a great time to plan related lessons. Review your referral data and needs assessment responses to identify key areas of focus. Check what curriculum your school already uses, such as Second Step, and build from there. You can also base lessons around books to make topics more engaging. Planning tip: Repurpose content across multiple grade levels to save time and stay consistent. 2. How to Create Lessons Using a Simple Framework Use this five-step framework for 20–30 minute lessons: Icebreaker (5 minutes): Start with a fun, short activity to grab attention. Lesson (10 minutes): Teach the main concept or skill. Discussion (5 minutes): Have students talk in pairs, groups, or as a class. Reflect/Review: Leave time for students to write, draw, or journal about what they learned. Data Collection: Use quick self-assessments to measure understanding. Planning tip: Repurpose small group or individual activities by slightly modifying them for classroom use. 3. How to Get Creative Make lessons interactive by incorporating elements such as Scoot Games, Escape Rooms, Digital Game Shows, Breakout Groups, or PowerPoint and Google Slides presentations. These activities help reinforce learning and keep students engaged. 4. How to Engage Students with Movement Movement keeps students focused and helps with participation. Add movement to your icebreakers, activities, and discussions with ideas like: Sides of the room Simon Says Stand up and sit down Role play Charades Beach ball toss or jumbo discussion die By intentionally planning, getting creative, and incorporating movement, you can design classroom lessons that are fun, effective, and memorable. Tune in to this episode to hear how I use these strategies step-by-step to make classroom lessons engaging and stress-free!   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

In a recent episode, host Dave (an experienced DJ and community mainstay) sat down with 13-year-old Chase McGann at The Loop Marketing, right at the heart of Center Street and Lake Street. Their conversation is a masterclass in how young people can find their voice, build confidence, and make a real impact in their community. This blog post dives deep into the main themes and actionable insights from the episode, offering guidance for parents, educators, and aspiring young leaders. Whether you're a Grayslake local or simply passionate about youth empowerment, you'll find plenty of inspiration and practical advice here. Table of Contents Spotlighting Youth: Why Community Involvement Matters Building Confidence Through Public Speaking and DJing Mentorship: The Power of Local Role Models Investing in the Right Tools: A Young DJ's Equipment Guide Balancing School, Hobbies, and Community Service The Value of Supportive Teachers and Family Actionable Tips for Young Announcers and DJs Fostering Kindness and Community Spirit Final Thoughts: Growing Up Grayslake Strong 1. Spotlighting Youth: Why Community Involvement Matters  Chase's story is a testament to the power of getting involved early. From announcing at his sister's softball games to DJing block parties and working with the PTO, Chase has found ways to contribute meaningfully to Grayslake's vibrant community life. Key Takeaways: Early involvement builds lifelong skills.** Chase's comfort on the mic and his organizational abilities are direct results of hands-on experience. Community events are gateways.** Local block parties, school events, and PTO activities offer safe, supportive spaces for youth to try new roles. Visibility matters.** When young people are given the spotlight, it encourages others to step up and participate. Actionable Advice: Encourage your child or student to volunteer at local events, even in small roles. Look for opportunities where youth can take the lead—announcing, organizing, or even running games. 2. Building Confidence Through Public Speaking and DJing  Public speaking is often cited as America's number one fear, but for Chase, it's a source of excitement. His journey shows that confidence is built through practice, positive feedback, and a willingness to embrace the spotlight. Nuanced Insights: Start small, build up.** Chase's first announcement was simply saying goodbye at a block party. Small wins lead to bigger opportunities. Preparation is key.** Arriving early, setting up equipment, and knowing your material reduces anxiety. Embrace mistakes.** Locker jams and tech hiccups are part of the process—laugh them off and keep going. Expert Advice: Practice public speaking at home—announce dinner, host family games, or narrate daily activities. Use tools like Kahoot, Canva, or even simple PowerPoint to create interactive presentations for family and friends. Record yourself and listen back to identify areas for improvement. 3. Mentorship: The Power of Local Role Models  Chase credits a local dad for teaching him the ropes—how to use a microphone, manage playlists, and engage a crowd. This mentorship was pivotal in his development. Key Points: Mentors provide both skills and confidence.** Learning from someone experienced demystifies the process. Community connections matter.** Local mentors understand the unique needs and culture of the area. How to Find or Become a Mentor: Reach out to local schools, PTOs, or community centers to connect youth with experienced volunteers. If you have a skill, offer to teach or co-host an event with a young person. Encourage a "shadowing" approach—let youth observe and then gradually take on more responsibility. 4. Investing in the Right Tools: A Young DJ's Equipment Guide  Chase's journey into DJing was made possible by thoughtful investment in equipment, much of it funded by family gifts and careful planning. Detailed Breakdown: Budgeting:** Chase spent about $400 on a speaker, microphones, lights, and a fog machine—showing that quality setups are possible without breaking the bank. Organization:** Keeping equipment organized and well-maintained is crucial for smooth events. Platform Choice:** Chase uses both Spotify and Apple Music, noting the unique features of each (like Apple's karaoke mode). Recommendations: Start with a reliable speaker and microphone—these are the backbone of any DJ setup. Add lights and effects (like a fog machine) as you gain experience and confidence. Use gift cards or holiday gifts to gradually build your setup. Explore both Spotify and Apple Music to see which fits your style and event needs. 5. Balancing School, Hobbies, and Community Service  Chase is not just a DJ—he's involved in theater (Annie Junior), band (playing tambourine in the symphonic band), and school clubs. Balancing these commitments is a challenge, but also a source of growth. Insights: Time management is a learned skill.** Chase juggles set-building, rehearsals, and DJ gigs by staying organized and prioritizing. Flexibility is important.** When play rehearsals ramped up, he adjusted his schedule to accommodate extra sessions. Diverse interests build resilience.** Exposure to different activities helps youth discover their strengths and passions. Actionable Tips: Use a planner or digital calendar to track commitments. Don't be afraid to say no or ask for help when overwhelmed. Try new activities—even if you don't get your first-choice role, there's value in every experience. 6. The Value of Supportive Teachers and Family  Chase's journey is supported by a network of encouraging teachers and family members. From his social studies teacher Ms. Corey to his band director Mr. Thomas, positive adult influences make a world of difference. Key Takeaways: Teachers who make learning fun inspire lifelong curiosity.** Family support—whether it's buying equipment or simply cheering from the sidelines—empowers youth to take risks.** Open communication with adults helps youth navigate challenges, from tech issues to school transitions.** How to Build a Support System: Celebrate small wins—acknowledge effort, not just results. Encourage open dialogue about challenges and successes. Connect with other families to share resources and advice. 7. Actionable Tips for Young Announcers and DJs  Drawing from Chase's experience and the host's expert advice, here are practical steps for aspiring young announcers and DJs: 1. Start Where You Are Volunteer to announce at family gatherings, school events, or local sports games. Use free or low-cost tools to practice—your phone's voice recorder is a great start. 2. Build Your Brand Create playlists and share them with friends, family, or on platforms like Spotify (as Chase does with "Chase's Entertainment Services"). Develop a simple website or social media page to showcase your work. 3. Stay Organized Keep your equipment in labeled cases or bins. Make checklists for setup and teardown to avoid forgetting key items. 4. Engage Your Audience Learn to read the room—play music that fits the mood and age group. Use the microphone to make safety and fun announcements, just like Chase does at foam parties. 5. Keep Learning Watch YouTube tutorials on DJing, public speaking, and event management. Ask for feedback after each event—what went well, and what could improve? 8. Fostering Kindness and Community Spirit  The episode closes with a heartfelt reminder: "We never know what our friends or family or anybody is going through… do one or two random acts of kindness today." This ethos is at the heart of Grayslake's community spirit. Ways to Spread Kindness: Hold the door for someone. Smile and greet neighbors. Volunteer for local events or help a classmate with homework. Why It Matters: Small acts of kindness create a ripple effect, making the community stronger and more welcoming for everyone—especially young people finding their way. 9. Final Thoughts: Growing Up Grayslake Strong  Chase McGann's story is a shining example of what's possible when young people are encouraged to pursue their passions, supported by family, teachers, and a caring community. Whether you're a parent, educator, or young person yourself,

Missy Tannen is the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Boll & Branch, the luxury bedding brand that made organic, ethically made sheets a household staple.Missy's path to entrepreneurship began far from business. After eight years as a third-grade teacher, she stepped away to raise her three daughters, never imagining she would one day build one of the most successful bedding brands in the country. What started as a simple search for better sheets led Missy and her husband, Scott, to uncover an industry lacking transparency. Determined to do better, they learned everything from cotton to supply chains from scratch and launched Boll & Branch in 2014 with a mission to create beautiful, responsibly made bedding at an honest price. What began at their kitchen table has since grown into a $200 million brand, sold at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's, with stores expanding nationwide.In this week's episode, Missy shares her transformation from teacher to entrepreneur, the pivotal moments that shaped Boll & Branch's early years, and how one unexpected newspaper story changed everything. We get into the scrappy stuff—wiring their savings to a factory they had never visited, making tech packs in PowerPoint, washing fabric samples in her laundry room, and missing a holiday launch after a production disaster. Missy reflects on building their supply chain from the ground up, facing zero-sales days before the brand took off overnight, and learning to balance growth, motherhood, and self-doubt while staying true to her purpose. This conversation is your reminder that you do not need experience or a roadmap to build something extraordinary, only grit, heart, and the courage to keep going.*Note from Yasmin: After five amazing years of weekly episodes, I'm shifting Behind Her Empire to an every-other-week schedule.

One small but fatal flaw of most LLMs?

Can perineal massage during the pushing phase of labor really prevent tears? In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker takes a close look at the research to uncover whether this technique truly helps reduce perineal trauma during childbirth. She explains how health care staff provide perineal massage during labor, breaks down findings findings from key studies and meta-analyses, and examines how biases and variations in clinical practice shape the evidence. Dr. Dekker also explores why results from settings with high episiotomy rates may not apply everywhere and why skilled, supportive care and informed consent often play a bigger role in protecting the perineum than any single technique. Content warning: Discussion of perineal tears during childbirth, severe tears, obstetric violence, and episiotomy.
