This document describes Gary Gaspar's journey from wanting to be an entrepreneur but not knowing where to start, to creating the website Weezbook to help people discover inspiring books recommended by successful people. He realized many other young people were starting businesses, so he checked out books that inspired entrepreneurs and wanted to find more. This led him to create Weezbook to organize recommendations from people like Bill Gates and Barack Obama. With a co-founder, they built a prototype at a startup weekend event and gained initial feedback. While books can't directly build a business, they helped Gary work harder, think better, and feel anything is possible.
Here's a presentation to motivate copywriters, art directors, visualizers, film makers; everyone in the creative profession to keep at it. Some interesting perspectives here. At Ethinos, we were glad we had this session!
Outcomes Over Process : Mike Atherton : Collaborate BristolNomensa
The Road Less Travelled
I've found a new passion in teaching the next generation of UXers. I remind them always to keep their eyes on the road. Outcomes over process. The tools help us get there, but ultimately what we're working on is so much more important than how we work.
How do we design more distinctive, credible, and memorable products? Should we work more responsibly, more ethically? What does it mean to solve the problems worth solving?
It comes down to understanding who we are and what we stand for; as organisations, and thus as individuals. Our core values, our personal missions, and our distinctive personalities combine. This is our brand.
As user experience designers we get excited about new tools, new methodologies, new books in the scripture of the holy church of UX. You've got to learn the rules before you can break them. But so often the world becomes saturated by well-meaning, well-crafted products which fail to be distinctive or daring, or want to speak to us with a personality we don't believe. Does the world need another iOS photo filter app or a bank who wants to be our best mate?
Brand is our compass in navigating the road less travelled. When our values are aligned to the things we create, work doesn't feel like work. We're happier, and better rewarded. What's the work you'll one day be proudest of? How will the work you do make a difference?
Why do you do what you do?

You Are Not The User: Viewing Your Website Through Your Client's EyesMighty Spark Design
When was the last time you looked objectively at your website from your client’s perspective? How does it display on different devices – from smartphones to large monitors? Have you made it easy for them to find information? How long are they waiting for your page(s) to load? These questions and more are answered, low (or no) cost solutions for some of them, and when it’s time to give your site a simple facelift or an entire re-design.
Headlines make or break the reach of your digital stories. Without a headline that promises something specific, readers will be confused and disinterested and the story will not get in front of many people. In this session, we'll discuss how to write headlines that people will click and share.

Accelerate Your Career: Creating & Communicating Your Unique Personal BrandPipa Unsworth
You will, throughout your career, have many opportunities to present yourself to new people. People you want to impress (your boss, a new employer). So how do you make the right first impression? Well, it starts way before you ever meet someone. To articulate yourself succinctly, in a meaningful and memorable way, you need to know who you are and what value to have to offer the world. That’s essentially the power of personal branding.
On Wednesday March 12, 2014 I gave a talk on personal branding at Saigonhub. Personal Branding was a topic that arose often in conversations and consulting meetings. This talk addressed the most important points: what to avoid when appearing online.

Write It Forward: From Writer to Successful AuthorBob Mayer
here is more to writing for a living than penning the book. You have run a business as an author. This is something that isn't taught in schools or in the industry. This book bridges that gap.
Write It Forward is a one-of-a-kind book focusing on you, the author. In Write It Forward Bob Mayer applies the time- tested strategies of the Green Berets to the world of being a successful author. He has taught thousands of writers over the years, but this new and innovative program probes deeper than words on the page. It is designed to teach writers how to think, plan and become the future best-sellers of the new age of publishing. The benefits you'll gain from this book will extend far beyond your writing and reach into all areas of your life making dreams a reality.
"I have always loved how your programs delved deeply into the psychological models you need to develop characters. No you are using that to develop people." Co-Creator of the Chicken Soup Books Jack Canfield
"Whatever Bob Mayer has to tell us about writing is something we should know. His Toolkit proves an invaluable resource for beginning and seasoned writers alike. Don't miss out." #1 NY Times best-selling author Terry Brooks
"Bob Mayer is a gifted writer and a generous teacher." #1 NY Times best-selling author Susan Wiggs
