Every year I create two to three heavily researched keynotes, and over the course of the next year or two, I will give each presentation more than twenty times. Before each live presentation, I rehearse an additional 4 to 6 times. Back in the days of in-person, when a projector bulb blew, I didn’t worry because the whole thing was in my head.

Texting may have been the worst invention ever. Sure we can transmit a thought at the speed of light, but texting communication is fraught with misunderstandings. Emojis may have been the best invention ever.
