In this episode, Emil is hosting a world-renowned expert in making effective presentation. Tim Pollard and his company, Oratium, have been advising C-level executives and Board members at some of the largest organizations in the world. He focuses his training mostly on investor relations, public relations, and sales communication.
Emil and Tim discuss the three distractions -- or "sirens" as Tim calls them -- of making a presentation. The focus on the pitfalls that often lure even very experienced executives into disastrous communications.
Tim also provides an opinion on why effective communication is even more important in the current highly polarized environment, especially when so much of what we say is done in virtual settings where physical cues are often missing.
