Steve Jobs has a reputation for being an outstanding presenter.  This slideshow from Carmine Gallo is inspired from the book of the same name which I have seen a lot of references to lately (RSS readers may need to open post to view). 

What tips do you have about presenting?

Brain Rules for Presenters (and Lean)

Vodpod videos no longer available.

I have not read John Medina’s book “Brain Rules” yet but this presentation from Garr Reynolds makes the book look fascinating (RSS readers may need to open post to view presentation).  If there is any trouble with the embedded video (sometimes SlideShare loads forever when I embed it), the original source is here.

Some elements really fit in with Lean thinking:

• The comments about instruction space sucking the brain power out of people is quite apt to consider if you are trying to create a learning organization. 
• The focus to minimize interruptions to gain quality is a form of waste to remove. 
• I love the phrase “going analog” because it does not have to rely on technology.
• Noticing where there is force feeding but little digestion makes me think of how respect for people is being practiced.
• “Pictures beat text” is a great clarion call to make the workplace more visual.

My 2009 Hansei: Scarcity inspires creativity and innovation.  How can I help harness that inspiration?

Powerpoint Bashing

 

This four minute video points everything that you do NOT want to do on Powerpoint (and its hilarious). 

I also recommend Edward R. Tufte’s 2003 post PowerPoint Is Evil.  His comments about how PowerPoint is used in schools is fascinating.
