Nancy Duarte

Also recommended, episode four fifty, The Way to Influence Executives.

Nancy Duarte was my guest on that episode, an expert in presenting, an expert in communicating with executives, and we talked in that conversation on how do you frame data and information in a way that'll be appealing to executives, and also how do you handle it when you get the inevitable interruptions from executives? If you've ever presented to an executive or gotten in a room with them and pitched something, you know exactly what that's like.

And we talked about how do you handle that effectively and professionally.

Episode four fifty to walk you through that.

I think this aspect of emotion, we talked about the Cs and Sophia and talked about how Present to Succeed was all about creating those emotions within the audience.

Data tells us what happened.

Story tells us what it means.

There's actually a ton of these.

There's a million different ways.

Nancy Duarte's got what is, what could be, and then a new bliss is the three-act structure.

Some people... apply why, what, how, what to Simon Sinek.
