3. How to make work-life balance work
In Nigel’s presentation he
speaks of the continuous
struggle to balance a
successful career while
raising a family or having a
full life.
4. “I’d like all of you to
pause for a moment,
you wretched
weaklings, and take
stock of your
miserable existence.”
Nigel used this quote
from St. Bennedict to
lead into the topic of
life and how to
balance it.
5. Nigel Marsh would use
relatable stories of his
personal life in order
to better connect with
his audience. He
would share personal
stories of his wife and
kids and would
continue to provide an
input of what his ideal
“balanced” day
consists of.

7. Nigel follows some tips by
Nancy Duarte and Garr
Reynolds in that he customized
his content for the audience. It
was an issue everyone in the
room was most likely struggling
with. He also left the audience
feeling smarter and inspired. It
let me realize that Only I can
make the necessary change to
balance my life.
8. I realized something
interesting while
watching Nigel’s
speech and that was
that a bit of humor
goes a long way. His
genius use of humor
every now and then
kept me immersed in
the topic and highly
interested in what he
had to say.

10. What can I teach you?
A bit of comedy goes a long way. The use of
some subtle jokes every now and then makes a
huge impact. Make sure to connect with the
audience. Share some stories that everyone can
relate to.
