Strong & Stable Message Repetition

[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39730467] You can spot the most successful leaders around the world right now fairly easily. By successful, I mean the ones destined to win. Stick around a while. Considered a natural helmer. It’s when you ask someone else what the hopeful leader stands

Newsnight's UK Snap Election Graphics

The day of the snap general election call in Britain. Panicked media excitedly rushed to make sense of it all. The current go-to telly source for illumination on this kind of thing? An Evan Davis Newsnight. BBC’s late-night round-up wonkery. I was delighted to see the graphics team working

Present Even Better Than Oscar Actor

Jeremy Irons is a wonderful onscreen presence. How about in front of a screen though? Well. Judging by this above screen grab from a BBC news report, not so sparkling. Yes, it’s dangerous to take only the snapshot served up by the media. Yet there’s plenty to pore

Amy Cuddy TED Power Pose Talk

This is one of the all-time most viewed Ted Talks. It’s worth the twenty-minute watch for the few subtleties you can consciously add to your physical selling demeanour. Why suffer penguin arms when you can be a piping hot teapot? For me, as an Anglo-Saxon with a sometimes strangely

Ditch Your First Dozen Corporate Overview Slides

I lapped up seeing a good old corporate overview the other day. In a crowded coffee shop no less. Fuller than normal I suspect, given the torrential downpour outside at the time. The cacophonous surrounds did not perturb the pitcher though. Tablet propped up, the modern-day site seller swiped along

Shoot MWC Retro Star Bullets

For the past few years I’ve enjoyed looking in from afar at Barcelona when what’s become the global launch conference takes place that is the Mobile World Congress. So who’s this year’s standout star? Wearables? Augmented reality? The Internet of Things? 5G? No. It’s a

The Rockstar Statistician And Your Sales Storytelling

data presentation masterclass from Davos Jan 2015 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavus Adolphus, Ikea, Abba. You gotta love the Swedes. Yet who from Sweden has made the biggest global impact? The founder of Spotify (and newly crowned most influential music industry bod) feels it’s Hans Rosling. He’s not alone. Although the
