For all the talk today about the importance of listening, it’s not easy to do it well, especially when it comes to talent management. It’s about more than asking questions; it’s also about listening for opportunities. The Talent Dialogue approach can help organizations do both. The convergence of new technologies and cultural evolution now makes possible an emerging superior approach – one that can provide specific insights into the drivers of engagement and help continually refine that insight through ongoing two-way communication. We call this approach “Talent Dialogue.”

We can all pretend that we're helping others by making web sites and software accessible, but we are really making the experience better for our future selves. Learn some fundamentals of web and software accessibility and how it can benefit you (whether future you from aging or you after something else limits your abilities).
We'll review simple testing techniques, basic features and enhancements, coming trends, and where to get help. This isn't intended to be a deep dive, but more of an overall primer for those who aren't sure where to start nor how it helps them.

You don't need to spend a lot of money to get started creating videos for your content marketing. Use the camera and lighting you already have and focus on being yourself, engaging with the camera, and delivering a clear, concise message. Let your friends, fans, and followers get to know the real you -- not some high-tech studio interpretation of you that will look still and awkward. Be yourself and share your message!

2. When are bullet points
a good choice?

6. Bullet points bear the brunt of jokes –
as well as more serious critiques
of PowerPoint presentations
7. But the problem is NOT
putting a bullet point
in front of a
block of text
8. The problem is too much text
for your audience to read
while they’re trying to
listen to you!
9. So are there times when bullet
points are a good choice?

11. In traditional terms, this was
referred to as a bulleted list.
In common usage today, that list
has come to be known as
bullet points.

• In other words,
•
•
• bullet points are
• perfect for lists

19. According to
http://oxforddictionaries.com,
“Bullet points are used to draw
attention to important information
. . . so that a reader can identify
the key issues and facts quickly.”
20. In marketing, public relations,
and copywriting, bullet points
are often used
• to draw attention to important items
•by making them look different than
•the surrounding blocks of text
21. I propose there are 3 situations
when bullet point lists, or
bulleted lists, are acceptable
or even recommended on slides
•
•
•
22. #1
Lists are much easier to read in
web-based, unnarrated slideshows
than in live presentations
•
23. Unnarrated slideshows, viewed on
a computer screen or a mobile
device, are more like written
documents than like presentations
24. Most people don’t mind reading
more text when they control how
quickly to advance the slides
AND
they’re not trying to read and
listen at the same time!
25. But even in an unnarrated,
viewer-controlled slideshow,
don’t overwhelm your viewers
with too much reading
26. But even in an unnarrated,
viewer-controlled slideshow,
don’t overwhelm your viewers
with too much reading
I don’t have
time to read
that much!
27. • Keep the font size fairly large
• Keep the writing at a 6th to 8th
grade reading level
• Make sure the text is engaging
and appealing – something they
WANT to read
28. #2
For a live, large-room presentation,
stick to one idea per slide
Don’t distract your audience
from listening to you, the speaker,
by giving them too much
to read on the screen
•
•
29. If you absolutely must
show a list on screen
during a live presentation,
keep it short and easy to read
from the back of the room
30. And definitely – DON’T
READ THE LIST OUT LOUD!
Show the slide and just give your
audience a moment to read it
before you continue speaking
31. And definitely – DON’T
READ THE LIST OUT LOUD!
The #1 complaint from most audience
surveys is that the presenter reads directly
from their slides!
32. If the list is long or contains critical
information the audience will
want to remember,
make the list available in a handout
so they’re not trying to
copy the whole list in their notes
instead of listening to you
33. One great way to do this is to
give them an easy URL
(display it large on a slide)
where they can download the
handout – perhaps requiring them
to enter their name and email
34. #3
The 3rd scenario is sometimes
referred to as “boardroom
presentations”, as opposed to
“ballroom presentations”
•
•
•
35. “Boardroom
presentations”
refers to …
presentations given to a small
audience at a business meeting
in a small room
36. In those more informal and
more intimate situations,
a presentation can become the
impetus for a group discussion of
the ideas presented on the slides
37. The slides may be accompanied by
a live, spoken presentation,
or they may be distributed as a
reading deck or briefing deck
to be read before, during,
or after the meeting
38. At times, the slides may even
substitute for a spoken
presentation – when they are sent
to someone who is unable to
attend the meeting
39. These “boardroom presentations”
can utilize more written text, but
must present clear and concise
information in a way that is
persuasive and targeted to
business decision-making
40. Bullet points may be a good way to
quickly summarize key points in a
“boardroom presentation”
42. Bullet points can work in a
“boardroom presentation” because:
1. Everyone can easily see and read
the slides (before, during, or after)
2. The audience has time to read the
slides (before, during, or after) without
trying to listen at the same time
3. The audience is highly motivated
and looking for information to help
them make a business decision
43. Bullet points can work in a
“boardroom presentation” because:
1. Everyone can easily see and read
the slides (before, during, or after)
2. The audience has time to read the
slides (before, during, or after) without
trying to listen at the same time
3. The audience is highly motivated
and looking for information to help
them make a business decision
44. Bullet points can work in a
“boardroom presentation” because:
1. Everyone can easily see and read
the slides (before, during, or after)
2. The audience has time to read the
slides (before, during, or after) without
trying to listen at the same time
3. The audience is highly motivated
and looking for information to help
them make a business decision
45. But “boardroom presentation” is a
unique style that requires careful
preparation of your persuasive
message, with stories and pictures,
as well as attention to developing
the logic and evidence to support
your business proposal
46. The audience for a “boardroom
presentation” will have little patience
for a boring, rambling, or
lackluster presentation!
Don’t waste their time!
