What I’ve learned to so far is to share ideas with colleagues. Enjoy this first of two videos about the best ideas heard at last month’s Winning Is Everything conference.

Rebecca Ryan, 2EO, Next Generation Consulting, shared her thoughts on crafting and delivering winning presentations at last week’s Winning Is Everything conference:

• What do you want your audience to think, feel and do as a result of your presentation?
• Stories rule, stats rot. Stories that work are hilarious, share failure, or are poignant.
• Show, don’t tell. Use effective images.
• When sh!t happens, improvise.
