This newsletter brings together three ideas that shape how we communicate, create, and collaborate. Chantal Bossé’s insights on mastering PowerPoint remind us that clarity on the screen begins with clarity of thought.

And when we look at history’s most creative teams, we see how shared purpose and smart collaboration amplify both storytelling and execution. This issue explores how these elements work together — clear messages, sharp visuals, and collaborative thinking — to help you communicate with impact and create work that stands the test of time.

I joined the Experience French Toastmasters Club and was excited and eager to present my first speech. Having been a Toastmaster for twenty years I had given hundreds of speeches, but this would be my first in another language. I was well-prepared, checking my pronunciation and grammar.
