David Crandall, Presentation Designer at Brand Super Power@clynton So awesome to hear that you have posted on SlideShare! I see your face pop up in my Twitter stream often and think back to those early conversations. Crazy how quickly things can change online! I love how life works like that. :)11 months ago
Are you sure you want to
Clynton Taylor, Director of Marketing at Jump AssociatesGreat job again, David. So fun to see how much you've accomplished since we emailed each other a couple years ago and you were trying to decide whether to go for it or not. You crushed it! :) You've inspired me to let me creativity out again and I just posted my first SlideShare - a deck created entirely with the iPad app Paper. Notes, or iskethnotes, from a conference I attended. Keep up the great work. We must chat again soon.11 months ago
I never thought of game magazines, but that's genius. I feel a little better hearing I'm not the only one who makes spelling mistakes on their presentations. The way you explained it is exactly what is going on in my mind as well. The funny thing is I showed one presentation to a large group with an obvious spelling error and no one noticed it but me. I quickly fixed it.1 year ago

EliphazI became the second rate version of my boss, after 17 years of work I couldn´t bear it anymore. I started to materialize my own dream, as hard as it has been, I wouldn´t trade tha last four years, structuring my own version has been a wonderful experience...and I make more money, have more time to spend with my family, best of all.....I am just getting started. Your presentation reminded me of the endless possibilities in this life. Thnx for sharing your presentation, very assertive.1 year ago

Allan Fried, Career Coach at www.careerintervention.comDavid really brought this presentation to life. He is a great collaborator with a sharp eye, and full of ideas. I highly recommend him to anyone that wants to transform their presentation.1 year ago
It's funny, when I read your question about where I get my ideas, I couldn't think of any one place. Part of it is looking at other presentations (like @SlidesThatRock and @JesseDee - They are both awesome!). I also like print magazines, especially video game and extreme sports ones (even though I am not a sports person at all) because they have edgier designs.
For the most part, I break the text up to where it makes sense semantically but then ignore the text as words from that point on. Instead, I treat them as blocks that I have to assemble and balance on the page. If there is a picture, I try and imagine where is the best place for the blocks. The biggest downfall is spelling mistakes with this approach. Since I tune out the words AS words, I find that I occasionally miss blatant misspellings the first time through. Ha
“ You can’t be different only more of yourself ” Alan Watts
People want to make career decisions based on anunclear picture of who they are
unclear picture what they “should” want
unclear picture who they wish they were
unclear picture what will impress others (such as title, status, salary)
unclear picturewho they promise themselves they will become if they get this job
unclear picture Who they are afraid to be
“ Always be a first rate version of yourself ” and not a second rate version of someone else Judy Garland
When you are a second rateversion of someone else:
When you are a second rateversion of someone else: You feel like a fraud
When you are a second rateversion of someone else: You make choices you wouldn’t otherwise make
When you are a second rateversion of someone else: Inauthenticity breeds anxiety and anxiety kills creativity
When you are a second rateversion of someone else: You look outside of yourself for approval
When you are a second rateversion of someone else: You lower expectations and limit options
When you are a second rateversion of someone else: it depletes confidence and self-esteem
So where do we start?
YOULet’s start with
YOUNeed to know what you wantto get what you want
YOUNeed to know who you areto know what you want
This is the missing link...Most people barely scratch the surface,so they spend their time chasingsomeone else’sdream or vision
Your time is limitedso don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t betrapped by dogma, which is living with the resultsof other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise ofothers’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courage to followyour heart and intuition.They somehow already knowwhat you truly want to becomeEverything else is secondary. Steve Jobs

“ playing not to lose We have two choices: a fear-based way of living or playing to win an attitude that overcomes fear with love and therefore inspires those we touch We experience inspiration and inspire others when we ” live authentically and are aligned with a clear sense of our higher purpose and a commitment to building soulful relationships with all those whom we serve.
