Editor's Notes

  1. http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2000-08-16/
  2. photo by Nantaskart! - 2005 http://www.flickr.com/photos/nantaskart/61707169/ Computer software forces us into one mode of thinking -> linear
  3. photo by Carbon NYC – 2008 http://www.flickr.com/photos/15923063@N00/888823443/ Perhaps the most important and overlooked aspect of a successful presentation
  4. http://www.flickr.com/photos/digitalgrace/90984630/in/photostream/ There are many possible “speaker” roles – each will yield a different approach
  5. This is your unique selling point – no one else has your stories
  6. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14945830@N00/5468544099/ One way to brainstorm away from the computer
  7. Then you can begin to think “structure”
  8. Source: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-02-22/
  9. Show not tell
  10. Bullets can kill. Use sparingly.
