116: The Formula to Creating Impactful Presentations

In our last episode, we met Zahir, a leader struggling to inspire his team. Jay was joined by Russ Peterson Jr., who shared insights on how to deliver messages that motivate people and drive real behavior change instead of putting them to sleep.

In this solo episode, Jay takes listeners behind the scenes into his personal process for crafting and delivering powerful presentations. He shares his Program Charter, a blueprint that helps speakers and leaders design talks that move audiences to action. From defining the audience’s current challenges to mapping their desired outcomes, Jay reveals how to create content that’s relatable, memorable, and truly transformational.

He also introduces the Three S’s Framework: Stories, Studies, and Simulation, to help presenters connect emotionally, back up their points with credible research, and get audiences actively engaged. Whether you’re leading a team meeting, presenting new ideas, or preparing for a keynote, this episode provides a step-by-step approach to make your message land with lasting impact.

If you’ve ever wanted to speak in a way that informs, inspires, and drives change, this episode gives you the exact structure to make it happen.
