A Cup of Coffee to Presenting Your Coolness

  • 0 min read

As Seth Godin would say, “if you want to be seen as different, then you actually have to be different.”

If you really want to stand out – really want to differentiate yourself from the competition and solidify your personal brand of coolness – you have to step it up a notch when presenting your unbelievably awesome, complex ideas.

Say good-by to the same old

And that means saying goodbye to the same-old-same-old Power Point presentation.  Don’t get me wrong – Power Point is an invaluable tool and completely appropriate for almost any business situation.

But it’s linear.  And your ideas are multifaceted.  Isn’t there a way (outside of interpretive dance) to present your ideas in a 3-dimensional manner – just like they appear in your head?

Skip to…Prezi, the zooming presentation editor.

Creating a Prezi presentation allows your audience to see your overall story line, and follow along with the components of each point.  Plus – it’s just totally cool looking.

You can keep it private or make it public to the world.  You can even embed your Prezi into your blog.  Like this:

TRENDING AROUND THE WEB

The loneliest version of the empty nest nobody talks about isn’t the parent whose kids moved far away. It’s the parent whose children live twenty minutes down the road and still only come by when they need something, because proximity without priority is its own quiet devastation.

I’m 65 and I spent my entire adult life being the most competent person in every room I entered and it took a therapist asking me one very quiet question at 63 to help me understand that the competence wasn’t confidence — it was the strategy of a child who learned that being needed was the closest available substitute for being loved

I grew up in the 1960s when a handshake still meant something and your word was a contract — and I’m watching a world where nobody believes anything anyone says anymore and wondering if we lost something irreplaceable when we decided trust was naive

Psychology says the reason retirement feels like disappointment for so many people isn’t that they didn’t plan well enough financially — it’s that they spent forty years building an identity around being necessary and productivity gave them permission to exist that leisure never learned to provide

Psychology says people who stay truly youthful as they age don’t exercise more or eat better — they maintain one cognitive pattern that most people abandon by their mid-forties because keeping it alive requires being comfortable with uncertainty
