Many people—from students to CEOs—give speeches and presentations, but very few make meaningful points. Why? Because most communicators don’t have points. They don’t even know what a point is—often confusing it with a topic, theme, or title. Not having a real point renders them pointless, and being pointless is by far the biggest cause of rambling, audience disconnection, and communication epic fail. Employing humor and audience interactivity, this presentation provides actionable tips and useful exercises that will help you become a more confident and effective communicator.

When workplace meetings shifted from real to virtual platforms, many assumed their communication and presentation approaches could stay the same. But a room is not a Zoom. Meeting attendees and presenters need to adopt new communication mindsets and tactics to maximize the new medium. In this interactive presentation, Joel will show you how to enhance your points, presence, and impact from the other side of the screen.

Even the best presenters and speakers make common email-writing mistakes that sabotage the impact of their points. This presentation—including tactics on subject lines, successful point-making, and vital human touches—helps anyone who relies on email to get attention, convey ideas quickly, and inspire the right response.
