Here is a great slide deck illustrating how to use visuals to portray a story. It is an advert of John Maxwell’s new book “Everyone Communicates, Few Connect“. I will be reviewing the book shortly, so watch this space. In the mean time, enjoy the slides.
It shows that you can easily tell a story with lots of pictures, and few words.
Much to my surprise, at a Toastmasters meeting on Wednesday, I got the award for best evaluator. That means that I gave the most constructive feedback to a speaker at the meeting :-)
I was called into the office of a marketing manager of a client, and asked what I thought of some ideas they are planning to use for a marketing campaign. When I was happy to assist, I pointed out that my expertise is not in design or marketing. Her response was that I gave her a fresh perspective.
Are you giving a fresh perspective to your clients?
Are you entrenched in their processes?
Are you open to getting a perspective from somewhere different?
Are you stuck dong things the same way you always have?
