Life lessons from the bamboo

I am a huge fan of Garr Reynolds. His outstanding book Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Amazon affiliate link) has had an incredible impact on the way I create, develop and deliver presentations (which by the way, if you want to see me in action, you can check out the video of my TEDx Talk).

Garr inspired me so much that I even created a course at Kozminski University teaching presentation skills, and his concepts and ideas are the core of the course.

I’ve had the opportunity to see some videos of him in action and if you are involved on giving presentations I strongly recommend you to check the lecture he gave at Google, in which he goes over the main concepts of his book. Then go … no, run! and buy his book.

Well, I was very surprised when I found out that he has also given a TEDx Talk, and besides the fact that this video not only represents a great opportunity to watch and learn from one of the best presenters in the world, the subject of his presentation is very interesting and full of great insights.

I have enjoyed this presentation very much and I believe you will too. Enjoy!

Mitch Joel on the future of the web

As some of you may have already noticed, I am a big fan of Mitch Joel, President of Twist Image.

I have included his work on my 10 remarkable blogs you should read and 10 remarkable podcasts you should listen to posts. His book Six Pixels of Separation: Everyone Is Connected. Connect Your Business to Everyone. (Amazon affiliate link) is part of my required reading on my Internet Marketing course at Kozminski University.

Anyway, when Mitch Joel speaks … I listen (and I think you should too).

Back in February 2011 he gave a remarkable TEDx Talk in which he argues that the future of the web may not be social.

Enjoy!

Jason Fried on why meaningful work does not happen at work

In this excellent TED Talk, Jason Fried, co-founder of 37Signals makes the strong point that an office is not the best place to get meaningful and valuable work done.

And of course if you enjoy this presentation I strongly recommend you to read his book (written with David Heinemeier Hansson) entitled Rework (Amazon affiliate link) which is part of the Great Books Series in this blog. Of course, if you want you can check here my review.

The secret of the world’s greatest communicators

Nancy Duarte, CEO of Duarte Design is in my opinion, one of today’s top three authorities on presentations and public speaking (together with Garr Reynolds and Nick Morgan)

Her book slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations (Amazon affiliate link) is an amazing guide on how to prepare, create, develop and deliver outstanding presentations.

Recently she delivered a fantastic TED Talk during the TEDxEast event, and in this remarkable presentation she makes a strong point of how the greatest communicators use stories to connect with their audience (something I was extremelly happy to watch after recently sharing in one of my previous posts entitled The Power of Stories my views on the huge impact that stories and storytelling have in our lives), and also shares her discovery on the hidden structure that the greatest communicators and persuaders have used over thousands of years. Great stuff!

Enjoy!
