Speak sincerely to your audience, and people will want to listen to your message and root for and contribute to the success of your idea.

Change doesn’t typically happen without a struggle.

For brainstorming to be successful, you have to suspend judgment and stay receptive to seemingly unrelated ideas – they may lead to something great.

By showing that you’ve considered opposing points of view, you demonstrate an open mind – and invite your audience to respond in kind.

No presentation should be devoid of emotional content, no matter how cerebral the topic or the audience.

…embed well-crafted sound bites into every talk.

Stories have the power to win customers, align colleagues, and motivate employees.

Make sure your presentation – and any story you tell within it – has all three parts [beginning, middle, and an end], with clear transitions between them.

…the most persuasive communicators create conflict by juxtaposing what is with what could be.

A message matters to people when it hits them in the gut.
