We live in a world where the art of communication has become more important than ever, yet very few of us are taught how to communicate.

Joel Schwartzberg is a strategic communications trainer. The biggest obstacle he’s come across—one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, an epic fail is that most speakers and writers don’t have a point.

They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less.

This show is about how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it, and train others to turn their biggest fear into their greatest strength, and be the best champions of their greatest ideas.

If you pick up a book on innovation or creativity, it is often written from an expertise-in-one-area perspective. This isolates other elements which may be much more relevant to your challenge.

We discuss:

The six constraints of innovation.

The challenges of silos How we are constrained individually, in groups and in society.

The challenges of expertise and the opportunities of true diverse thinking.
