Is This Truly The Number One Meeting Whiteboard Trick

[http://www.thecooperreview.com] The Venn Diagram. Lovely to see it accorded such prominence in the meeting room satire of Sara Cooper’s debut book. ∩= sweet spot. I can see this turned into a knowingly cheeky sales flipchart routine. Draw only the two interlocking circles and label their intersection. Then

Paint Your Colour Name On The Prospect Palette

I caught a potted history of colour naming from a telly magazine piece. Who knew the current trend for treating colours as if they were racehorses is by some placed at the door of Crayola. Their crayons begin with standard names in 1903, yet by 1949 their range expands to

Slidedeck Bonfyre

Glamping now so ordinary. Try a luxury festival in the Bahamas. Or not. Given the disaster that was this weekend’s Fyre Festival. Widely reported [http://www.edmsauce.com/2017/04/28/horrifying-time-line-fyre-festival-privilege-fraud-exploitation-now-arrests/] , relief tents and cheese sarnies greeted astonished revellers. Which caused much mocking for the wildly expensive shindig

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

Annual Report Pitch Design Compliance

Here’s a neat and friendly falling-short-of-sycophancy presentation trick. A friend of mine was working with a huge telco. The question of how to present to them cropped up. Standard fare dictates a snoreshow laden with your livery adorning precious screen estate on every slide, alongside those oh so clever

Your James Blunt Set List Contents Slide

my life is brilliant… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global musical colossus James Blunt has an album out. I can hear you cheering. Full disclosure. His last collection, Moon Landing, I enjoyed muchly. Streetcred shot, let the sales skill sing. As is the way with warblers of the day, social media tease plays a

Little Progress On MWC Slide Runway

One reason I look in on Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress each year at this time, is not because it’s the leading event for mobile mega launches. Rather, these are the people with the biggest budgets, so their slide design should be where we are all headed too. Last
