Libby Magliolo

SMU Cox School of Business

I teach MBA-level business communications and presentation techniques courses. The courses focus on equipping students with the core skills needed to create and deliver a range of different types of presentations to a wide variety of corporate audiences.

Adjunct Lecturer

The Slide Master, LLC

I teach professionals how to build and deliver effective presentations. 

Through on-site as well as hybrid training sessions for audiences ranging from interns to executives, I teach the skills that busy professionals need in order to create and present in a way that drives efficient decision-making. We've all sat through meetings that could have been emails, and we have all seen too many PowerPoints that are "walls of texts" and covered in bullet points and 8-point fonts. 

Bad presentations result in lack of engagement, unproductivity, slowed decision-making and are a waste of everyone's most valuable commodity - time. Learn how to quickly put together an attractive, engaging, data-filled PowerPoint deck and learn how to give a presentation that drives conversation and decision-making.

Score! Educational Centers - Office Assistant/ Marketing Assistant

My first journey into Leadership was all about me. I was a 25-year-old who learned quickly and delivered  - so, I somehow found my way into a manager role. I thought being smart, motivated, and being able to execute, made you a leader. It worked until times got tough. Quite a bit of heartache and a semi-successful business later,  I learned that showing People the path forward with knowledge alone, didn't actually win them over.  I couldn't lead them because our relationship was based on my needs - not theirs. I learned leading with LUV and a Servant's Heart is the only way to truly lead. 

I am so blessed to have learned those lessons and now have the opportunity to lead our Technology Recruiting Team at Southwest Airlines. Our team is the best Team I've ever been on. We've got a Team built on trust, collaboration, innovation, caring, and general LUV for each other. We've got a Team that shows up for each other with the intent to make each other's day better and lend a hand. Success is thought of as a Team sport; we only win if we all cross the finish line. It takes every single one of us to make our Team what it is.

The Technology Recruiting Team hires the best technical talent and finds them a home they LUV at Southwest Airlines! 

Reach out to me if you are looking to make a change in your career or looking to make an impact at an organization and want more at work. Where you spend most of your day should be a place you LUV.  I believe that every employee deserves a path to success and the opportunity to make a difference within their role. 

So, let's start. It all begins with one conversation.
