Who here loves PowerPoint? Anyone… yeah, us too. On today's episode of Ponderings from the Perch, a Little Bird Marketing Podcast, host Priscilla McKinney and guest Rob Biesenbach discuss how to captivate an audience beyond tech. With backgrounds in both business and acting, the latter of which he trained for at Second City in Chicago, Biesenbach understands the power of storytelling to captivate audiences and drive meaningful change, and firmly believes that traditional presentation methods like the aforementioned Death by PowerPoint and basic info dumps are no longer effective in engaging modern audiences. Specializing in business-to-business (B2B) strategies via peer-to-peer relationships, Biesenbach encourages individuals in business to craft compelling narratives that blend engaging topics with personal experiences that resonate deeply with their audience, fostering genuine connections and driving positive outcomes. "You're doing more than presenting information,” Riesenbach explains. “You are trying to change minds... maybe even change lives." McKinney and Biesenbach also discuss his bestselling book, Unleash the Power of Storytelling: Win Hearts, Change Minds, Get Results, insider tips on his writing journey and how he equips leaders with the tools and techniques they need to become more persuasive and authoritative communicators. By doing so, individuals can build their personal brands, drive meaningful change and make a lasting impact in their organizations and beyond.

Episode 083. “So, all these things I learned from acting: rehearsing, relentlessly planning, thinking of your audience, inhabiting the character, bringing energy to the room… Those are all critical.” ~Rob Biesenbach Quick! How do you introduce yourself (your business, your big idea, your creative project) to the world?  Cue the impostor! If you've just broken into a cold sweat, I understand. This is one of those questions that can trigger even the most accomplished person, causing them to retreat behind ineffectual language and timid gestures. Why is it difficult for some to claim their voice? Probably because voice is more than just the noises we make. Voice is emotion and content; it's the literal and the figurative.  Rob Biesenbach has worked voice from every angle. As an actor, a corporate trainer, a speaker, and an author, he's crafted strategies that help people communicate and connect.  I imagine some of you asking, “But Andrea, I'm a tax attorney (or a dog walker or a digital illustrator, or a…). What do I need to know about voice other than when to turn it up or how to dial it down?” Well, that takes us back to the question up top. FULL SHOW NOTES: thecreativeimpostor.com/083   “I think one of the most important things in our professional and personal development is getting to a place in your life where you know your strengths and you know your weaknesses so you're not apologetic about either.” ~Rob Biesenbach   WHERE TO FIND ROB BIESENBACH Website LinkedIn Twitter YouTube   2 Invitations for YOU Join me for She Podcasts Live in Atlanta, Georgia, October 11 through 13, 2019 I will be co-facilitating a workshop on how to fall in love with the sound of your voice.

Is life working in a PR agency as glamorous as Hollywood portrays it on television and in movies? The truth is, working in an agency can be exciting, but it also can be exhausting, and not for every PR soul. This week, we consider the ups and downs of PR agency life with Dr. Gina Luttrell, a PR and Social Media Professor at Syracuse University, and co-author of a new book, The PR Agency Handbook. We’ll explore the agency-client relationship, discuss the book’s included client personas, and find out whether Gina recommends agency work to her budding PR wards. Our second guest, Rob Biesenbach, preaches the lessons of improv comedy to agency managers and other PR leaders, sharing an approach based on a four-letter word – love. The Flack Pack wraps up its coverage from the PRSA International Conference this week with an episode about PR agencies. Dr. Gina Luttrell The PR Agency Handbook Syracuse University S.I.
