      <title>The Brush-Shaped Being</title>

Bright people know stuff. And they generally interact with other people who know stuff. Our knowledge fields are &rsquo;T-Shaped&rsquo;. And our interactions are generally pretty narrow, taking place along the narrow shaft of our specialisation, or the low penetration of our general interests.

What if we were to embrace a more extended metaphor that allows us to be at home with powerful innovation? What if we could use our bristly personalities to become drivers of innovation? 

Are you ready to declare yourself a &rsquo;The Brush-Shaped Being&rsquo;?]]>

Mulholland is the founder of South African presentations firm, MISSING LINK. (Check &rsquo;em out at http://missinglink.co.za.) They&rsquo;re top of the heap on the continent, creating wildly effective presentations for pretty much most of South Africa&rsquo;s blue chip companies.

I&rsquo;ve worked with them quite a bit. And they&rsquo;re awesome fun to be around.

But their craziness cloaks EXTREME business acumen. These guys are as good as they get.

This preso is distilled from a little animation I made for them. It came about thanks to Rich...! appearing on the tv show I&rsquo;m on every week. I\&rsquo;m the visual facilitator on CNBC AFRICA&rsquo;s business magazine show, &rsquo;Kaleidoscope&rsquo;.

I made some sketches of Rich...!, and decided to do something productive with them. Hence the animation.

You can find the video on my YouTube gallery. It&rsquo;s at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=endJF_KqZdU. It&rsquo;s also embedded in the comments on the first slide.

If you&rsquo;re tickled by my animation style, get in touch with me, and let&rsquo;s do some business. Email me on royblumenthal@gmail.com.]]>

      <title>The Business of Public Seminars -- a Summary of a Talk by Paul du Toit</title>

As a member of PSASA -- the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa -- Paul delivered a one-hour chat to his PSASA cadres at one of the monthly meetings.

I was there with my trusty li&rsquo;l black Moleskine. I sketched Paul. And I took notes. Later, I converted those notes into the seven key points Paul delivered to us.

I then animated my sketch of Paul, along with all the requisite speech bubbles. And I got Paul to come along to my place for a recording session. The result is a neat little animated video of Paul giving you his nuggets. You can view that on my YouTube gallery. It&rsquo;s at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-GnZtWPZo4.

This presentation is a set of screen grabs from the video.

If this stirs your imagination, and you think there&rsquo;s a possibility I might be able to make something similar for you, please feel free to contact me. My email address is royblumenthal@gmail.com. And I&rsquo;m on Twitter at http://twitter.com/royblumenthal. I&rsquo;m looking forward to hearing from you.]]>

It&rsquo;s a pretty basic list, and it kinda requires discussion around each point.

Best used as a discussion-generator, and not as a self-contained definitive &rsquo;list&rsquo;.

Please feel welcome to use this in your seminars, meetings, workshops.]]>

      <title>Six Creativity Colours For Breakout Thinking</title>
      <link>http://www.slideshare.net/royblumenthal/six-creativity-colours-for-breakout-thinking</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img src="http://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/six-creativity-colours-for-breakout-thinking-1214316037827677-9-thumbnail-2?1214311511" alt ="" style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" /><br> This presentation is the one I use to explain the colours people can choose when they&rsquo;re in a creative brainstorm (or any other problem-analysis session).

The system is based on Edward De Bono&rsquo;s Six Thinking Hats. I&rsquo;ve changed the colours for logistical reasons. All of the colours in this version are available for laser printers. Which means you can print on them if you like.

The way to use this is to have people choose the relevant colour, and act that role.

I use this in conjunction with my MAKE A HAT preso. I ask people to make a newspaper hat (around 15 minutes worth of effort, which is fun, and friendly to the brain). They stick little cards in the hat brim to show what mode they&rsquo;re in.

You can use any kind of hat that has a place for a piece of card. An easy option is a knitted beanie.

Feel free to download the entire preso, and use it for your workshops or brainstorms.]]>

I made my notes on my tablet pc, doing a visual facilitation for myself and my colleagues at Blue Moon.

I&rsquo;ve isolated the key points in this presentation. Hopefully they&rsquo;re self-explanatory. If not, send me a note, and I&rsquo;ll see if I can clarify.

The purpose of a visual facilitation is to concretise people&rsquo;s learning. But it&rsquo;s also to allow that learning to be shared.

      <userDesc>I love sitting in meetings with my tablet pc, capturing the ideas as paintings.

I&amp;rsquo;m one of those creative right-brain types who also has access to his left-brain.

Loads of marketing knowledge. A long history of presenting. A standup-poet.</userDesc>
