Fluidity - that is what an audience responds to when we speak: our physical presence combined with vocal animation. Fluidity allows us to appear confident in front of an audience, and enables vocal animation to take place. A lack of fluidity leads audiences to disengage when we speak. The more we are able to master fluidity — in front of the camera and on a stage — the more likely our audience is to listen, hear, internalize, and remember what we want them to. Want to learn more?

Albert Einstein once said, “If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” The same principle holds true in a crisis. Asking the right questions in the right order during is a crisis is what enables you to come out of crisis stronger than before with the trust of those who matter most maintain. But if you don’t ask the right questions in the right order, then you will likely make matters worse and suffer greater operational and reputational harm in the process. Want to learn more?
