I need fresh ideas for my slide deck.

I’ve one file for all my talks, organized by topic.

Some love it, especially the list of topics in the sidebar.

Others cringe as much as I do (e.g., because my name and website are on every slide).

How do you organize and present all of your ?

What formats, templates, or designs work well?

(Is it safe to assume our slides will never again be on a 4:3 display? Can we finally go ?)

I gave a presentation at Douglas College in New Westminster BC today on end of life doulas and assisted dying as part of a virtual conference.

Thanks go to the brilliant cabaret artist Reuben Kaye for a pivotal quote I included in this talk (from his recent 'Live and Intimidating' show): "Nothing hates like Christian love". The perfect encapsulation of hysterical and fallacious opposition to VAD.

A fascinating day with international contributors. Thank you to the End of Life Doula Association of Canada and Douglas College.

Sei in un ascensore con un potenziale investitore o recruiter. Hai solo una manciata di secondi secondi per presentare il tuo progetto o convincerlo che sei la persona giusta per la sua azienda. Cosa dici? Come catturi la sua attenzione? In che modo riuscirai a farti ricordare?
L'elevator pitch è lo strumento per rispondere a queste domande. Ecco come farlo nel modo giusto.

Last night was the last meeting for the year at Speakers' Corner Toastmasters*. It was also meeting number 400, so for once there was an actual toast at a Toastmasters meeting.

*one of several clubs named Speakers Corner worldwide, but the only one in District 73

Le jour même, ça se passe comme une conférence grand public, avec (pour Nantes) deux tracks où faut choisir les présentations où l'on assiste, captation vidéo (pour usage interne), régie etc. C'est très proche de l’expérience d'une conf. Pareil, c'est chouette comme environment bienveillant pour tester la prise de parole en public. 👏 💪

En amont de ces conférences internes, il y a un super boulot d'accompagnement des personnes pour les former à la prise de parole en public, de comment soumettre à une conférence ou un meetup, d'aide à la synthèse de ses idées, de rédiger des slides. 👏 💪

My Friday night is spent redrafting my speech for the speaker of the year competition that I am in tomorrow. My topic is 'A Vision for Australia' and I have 8 minutes so wish me luck.

For the record I find that typing the speech is helpful for remembering it.
