Stand Like a Starfish!
In Guila's Present Like a Pro classes, we practice research-based "expansive body language".
 
Harvard researcher Amy Cuddy, in her new book, "Presence," shows how taking powerful poses before presenting also improves your confidence and effectiveness.

Build Your Kite's Frame
Let Your Training Soar
Without its frame, a kite is just fabric. Without a clearly stated frame, your class or Webinar is just formless content.

Always create your class's frame (purpose and outcome statements) before developing content.  This structure enables your Kite to fly!

Quiz: Meetings

1. F. Long-winded or tangential statements are a major reason people hate meetings. Use the skills in Guila Muir's "Meetings That Work" course to tactfully intervene.

2. F. Nothing should be recorded word-for-word except motions and decisions. Decisions should include due dates and people responsible.

3. "Often F". Most people should work on activities requiring maximum creativity and performance in the morning. (However, the guy glaring at us from the photo may not be a morning person.)
