Like a lot of other people, we here at Curved Vision have a Google Alert for our company name. That means if anyone is mentioning us, Google will let us know. It’s simple, effective and convenient… and mindless!
Why mindless? Because it took me, a few days ago to this artwork. Nothing to [...]
Anyone who knows anything about presenting will know that I (and anyone else who’s ever trained people to do presentations) is a fan of the Presentation Zen blog. See this post, for example.
I came across a nice interview with the man himself recently, which you can find here. My understanding is that the [...]
A while ago I blogged about story-telling in presentations. Recently I came upon a post on a similar theme in a different blog which is worth five minutes of your time.
I’d also like to draw your attention to the Vital Elders blog, which sometimes contains interesting stories - usually of native American origin. I’d want [...]
No, it’s not an instruction or something screamed from the side-lines to urge you on, i’ts an acronym: Women into the Network.
I did a free lunchtime session for them yesterday and despite the best efforts of the 60 mph winds had a great time. This is just a quick thank you to them for the [...]
Just for fun, I thought it might be interesting to go through a day as a trainer specialising in what I do: it’s more fun than any job has a right to be!
Some time before quarter to eight I check my emails and send off the ones I [...]
Women Into the Network (WIN) is a networking organisation based in the northeast of England: and we’re doing a free session for them on Feb 26th. We’re starting at noon, at the Sovereign Suit at The Assembly Rooms. Should be good ‘un as it’s pretty near to booked out already, apparently.
Me and [...]
These hints and tips are all very well but may just blow my own trumpet for a moment? I’m just updating the website for our presentation tips ebook called “…like a brick wrapped in velvet…”
The upside of the hints there compared to this blog is that it’s a structured book, not just a set [...]
I know that opera doesn’t have much to do with (business) presentations but it seemed appropriate to just say something to acknowledge the death of Luciano Pavarotti this week. He made it sound simple. As something of a trained singer I know that it certainly wasn’t.
One of my [...]
Of course, I’m very flattered, but….. just here it appears that Amazon.co.uk are selling second hand copies of my voice book for up to £114! Brand new from me it’s only £8.50 (+p&p but I’ll throw in a signature! :) ).
Flattering, of course, but it’s hardly a collector’s item!
Some mistake, surely?!?!!?
We’ve had a bit of a waiting list that we’ve not quite cleared before the summer so we’re sneaking in an extra day’s presentation skills training course in Newcastle on Jul 23rd. Because we’re running it at such short notice there are a couple of extra places going (almost begging!).
To find out a bit [...]
