This is the sixth vlog in my 30 day Business challenge to post a vlog each day for 30 days.  And the topic came about because I recognise that although the question ‘what is it that you do?’ sounds such a simple one, answering it clearly, concisely and with impact is not quite so easy. […]

We have all heard the typical and fairly conventional way of starting a presentation – ‘Good Morning , my name is, today I am going to talk at you about…’  And that is our cue to snuggle in our chair, check the Blackberry, daydream and so on until the speaker finally reaches the point…except sometimes […]

Get real…the importance of adding in concreteness into your presentations

By Catherine Sandland on May 30, 2012 in Language

In ‘Rework – chnage the way you work forever’, authors Jason Fried and David Meyer- Hansson write, ‘ If you need to explain something get real with it.  Instead of describing what something looks like, draw it.  Instead of explaining what something sounds like, hum it.  Do everything you can to remove layers of abstraction.’ […]
