Can you make text look nicer, and fit the format of the other pictures, slides?
Images to symbolize the things mentioned above. I underlined the words that we can try to represent through pictures. Not necessarily pictures for every word.
Same as before. Key words are underlined.
Same as before. Try to build a flow through images. From goals to resume to events to priority people to super connectors.
Highlighted the words.
Picture of wingmen from Top GUN. May be if there is a movie insert about wingman?
