Communicating More Effectively

November 5th, 2009

I have decided that when the opportunity presents itself, I will use video for some of my interviews. A couple of weeks ago I was in Boulder Co for the annual Duct Tape Marketing coaches gathering and we had a few really good speakers. Lesa Snider, who I have met before, is a really good presenter. She is an evangelist for iStockPhoto.com and is the author of Photoshop CS4: The Missing Manualso is the perfect person to talk about the best use of graphics in business presentations.

If like me, you suffer from PowerPoint bullet addiction, you will get a lot out of this interview! Frankly I think we have all sat through some pretty boring presentations that don’t connect with our needs or interests so hopefully this interview will begin a movement to turn things around.

Her website as mentioned in the video is www.graphicreporter.com and if you go there you will find all kinds of interesting resources. She also has a series of video tutorials which you can find at www.lynda.com.

Note: this is the first video I have posted on Podbean and it doesn’t seem to be working very well. I have also posted the video on my small business blog so you might want to take a look there instead. That seems to be working better.
