We first feature Seema Menon of Toastmasters who explores how you can overcome the biggest potential blockers of achievement. We then speak with Simon Raybould of Presentation Genius about his new Reluctant Storyteller Starter Pack, which he says, “gets you started using stories in your presentations (or anywhere else!) no matter how reluctant you are… and using them properly, not just telling them.”
We then learn how you can add symbols in PowerPoint 365 and 2019 for both Windows and Mac, and also in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac. We also teach how to add an Em Dash in PowerPoint for Windows, Mac, and also the browser-based PowerPoint for the Web. We also bring you quotes, press releases, and templates from the last few days.
Stay informed about updated tutorials and happenings related to PowerPoint and presenting.

Simon Raybould started his working career investigating at the causes of childhood leukemia and spent 24 years as a researcher at the UK’s largest social science research center. Very little of what he does is based on only his experience, no matter how comprehensive that experience is – it’s based on an understanding of the science of presenting and storytelling and his books in the field have become best sellers on the high-street. He’s also been a professional actor and playwright; he spent seven years as the technical director for dance companies, touring the UK and Europe; he’s been a teacher and a fire eater.
In this conversation, Simon discusses his new course, the Reluctant Storyteller Starter Pack.

Yes, you can add an em dash in PowerPoint for the Web, and again there is more than one way to achieve this task.

We all want to achieve―in our businesses, in our careers, and in our personal lives. If you aren’t getting where you want to be, you may find you’re being held back by one of the three major blockers to achievement: distraction, MISinterpretation, and MIScommunication.

Let’s examine each of these. We’ll begin with distraction, or looking at it another way, attention.
