Manage episode 514835600 series 2451791
When you’re in front of senior leaders or the board, you’ve got seconds—not minutes—to capture their attention and make your message land. Executives don’t want a data dump, a 40-slide saga, or a meandering story that takes forever to get to the point. They want clarity, confidence, and a compelling narrative that tells them what matters right now. That’s where executive storytelling becomes a powerful leadership skill—not just a presentation tactic.
My special guest today is Libby Magliolo, and she’s simplifying how to master the art of executive storytelling. If you want to elevate your executive presence, influence decisions, and deliver presentations that are memorable (for all the right reasons), this episode is for you.
Here’s how.
My special guest today is Libby Magliolo and she’s simplifying how to master the art of executive storytelling. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:What makes executive storytelling different from a standard business presentation—and why true executive presence requires you to drop the apology language.
The three questions every leader must answer before they ever open a slide deck:
Who is in the room?
What do they care about?
And what is the objective of this communication?
The one-sentence trick that creates a compelling executive presentation using the Minto Pyramid Principle:
Lead with the answer first.
How to balance visuals and words so your message is engaging—without overwhelming your audience.
…and ultimately, one simple shift any leader can make this week to improve their executive presence when presenting.
It’s time to #DoTheThing!
