Nancy Duarte, Queen of Presentation, has a new book called Resonate (available on Amazon). From the description it sounds pretty amazing. I have her other book slide:ology, and that was very impressive. This one is anticipated to be even better. There are so many books on slide design and presentation skills but her’s are right [...]

I just spotted this great keynote delivered by Guy Kawasaki (previous Apple guy, now entrepreneur and speaking guru, How to Change The World).

How much time does it take to design good slides?
April 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Bad design, Communication, Designer worth noting, Public Speaking
Reading through books like Nancy Duarte’s and others makes me realize how unexciting my slides actually are. Her examples are inspiring and incredibly elegant, yet very much to-the-point. But for most of us, the time this takes is simply not available. If you are a busy professional rushing from meeting to meeting, juggling several projects, [...]
