Event: Ignite Phoenix 3 @ TCA
Event Date: February 25th, 2008
My presentation is based upon the book Bowling Alone: The collapse and Revival of American Community by Robert Putnam. I plan to draw on ideas and illustrations from the book in order to present how community involvement has declined in America over the last 50 years, why this trend is happening, and why reviving community is important. Finally, I will discuss why Ignite Phoenix is an important step towards reviving our sense of community and urge the audience to bridge the gap from virtual community involvement to physical involvement.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

at all costs! The audience
will begin reading your slides the
second they appear and this will most
likely distract them from the topic you’re covering,
plus you might end up in big trouble for practicing Death by PPT!
Phoenix O’REILLY
• Congratulations on being picked to present at Ignite Phoenix!
• This guide was created by the Ignite Phoenix crew with the goal of helping you design and deliver your Ignite Phoenix presentation.
• So without further ado, let’s get started!
• The first and most important rule of Ignite presentations is the following:
• You get 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide—which gives you a total of 5 minutes to deliver your presentation.
• To give you a feel for this format, we’ve actually designed this guide with the Ignite presentation rules in mind.
• Another important rule is that we do not permit the use of animation or sound in our presentations.
• The reason is simple, we convert all presentations into PDF files—and unfortunately at the moment, PDF files do not support animation or sound.
• So, if you’re a big fan of animation and sound, save the drama for your mama.
• With the rules out of the way, it’s time to get started.
• Your first step is to pick a slideshow template—links to download Keynote, PowerPoint, and Google Docs templates can be found on the presentation tips page that was emailed to you.
• When you begin designing your slides, avoid using lots of text at all costs!
• The audience will begin reading your slides the second they appear and this will most likely distract them from the topic you’re covering.
• Plus, you might end up in big trouble for practicing death by PowerPoint!
• Instead, focus on using less text, bullets, and sentences in your presentation.
• When possible, use brief two to three word statements instead of full sentences.
• This will help you avoid death by PowerPoint; as well as help keep the focus on you and not your slides.
• Another useful tip is to use one idea per slide.
• Doing so helps you trim the fat from your presentation and focus on what’s really important.
• Remember, you only get 15 seconds per slide—so try to get your message across as efficiently as possible.
• As the old adage goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
• We highly encourage you to use pictures and images in your presentation—all we ask is that you have the proper permission to use these images. Do not violate someone’s copyright, capiche?
• You can find great photos by visiting search.creativecommons.org which helps you find images that simply require fair use and attribution in your presentation.
• Another useful resource is the PresentationZen blog, which has a huge list of royalty-free and stock photography sites—if that’s your thing.
• If you’re on Twitter, there’s an O’Reilly logo on the bottom right corner of each slide which can be swapped out with your Twitter handle.
• Doing so will allow for maximum audience participation.
• As any Ignite Phoenix Joe knows, slides are only half the battle.
• The other half is getting up on stage and delivering your presentation, so here are a few tips that we’ve collected from past Ignite presenters.
• The best way to guarantee a great Ignite Phoenix experience is to ensure that you’re comfortable with your subject matter.
• The only way to ensure that you’re comfortable with your subject matter is to rehearse.
• When you’re rehearsing, try to complete a full presentation without stopping or starting over.
• There’s a good chance that you will make mistakes during your presentation, so the best thing you can do is practice recovering and improvising while you rehearse.
• You also want to make sure that you give yourself some breathing room, so don’t cram!
• Leave enough space to ensure that you can catch up to your slides if you happen to trip up or fall behind during your presentation.
• Some of the best presenters are storytellers—so when possible, try to find the story in your topic.
• If you’ve ever seen a presentation by Gary Vaynerchuck, Tony Robbins, or Mike Rowe, then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
• Another useful tip is to record video of yourself while rehearsing your presentation.
• What this allows you to do is discover and eliminate any distracting habits that may otherwise go unnoticed.
• You might have some unanswered questions—for example, do you need an intro slide?
• We provide an intro slide as you make your way on stage—so take full advantage and use your first slide to start your presentation off with a bang.
• Another common FAQ we receive is if presenters can use a blank slide?
• Blank slides are okay, but keep in mind that your slides are a reference so make full use of them.
• For more FAQs, visit the tips page.
• Here’s one last tip—suggest some “next steps” for the audience.
• For example—if your topic is watching Bollywood movies, then recommend some movies to get started with.
• Or if you’re giving presentation tips, suggest that presenters can get their questions answered by emailing ignitephoenix@gmail.com
• Ultimately, we encourage you to have a blast!
• Presenting at Ignite Phoenix is an adrenaline rush—so be sure to fasten your seat belts, keep your hands in the ride at all times, and have a great time!
