| Clarity Builds Confidence Everywhere |
| |
| |
| This issue focuses on building confidence through clarity, structure, and the right tools. We begin with a conversation with Rick Altman, author of a new book on virtual presenting, where he shares practical advice on how to crush your next online presentation and connect with audiences in a digital-first world.
We then turn to visual planning, exploring how Gantt charts created with the empower add-in for PowerPoint help transform complex timelines into clear, credible stories that align teams and reduce uncertainty. Finally, we look at common workplace fear factors and how thoughtful communication and transparency can help overcome them. Together, these insights show how confidence grows when ideas are well planned, clearly visualized, and confidently delivered. |

People Need To Be Aroused: by Dr. Marcia Reynolds
"People need to be aroused by surprising statements about their behavior and by questions that make them stop and think about what they are saying. If you break through their mental frames, they will stare at you for a moment as their brains look for ways to make sense of what they are considering...If you act on this moment by helping to solidify the new awareness, their minds will change. If you do not facilitate this process, a strong ego may work backward to
justify the previous behavior."
