Summary: Alan talks about his background and experience in psychology, educational psychology, and corporate training, sharing his journey of how he discovered effective presentations from Warner Earhart and how he started teaching it at Digital Equipment Corporation and Symantec Corporation. Later, he started his own company, Alan Carroll and Associates, which is now called Mindfulness in Action, where he helps people become powerful professional speakers and teaches them the "secret sauce" that transforms their experience. The purpose of the podcast is to bring people with their own secret sauce and have them share it with the audience to help them transcend their ego state of consciousness and move to a transcendent state of consciousness called mindfulness.
