How to

Stop BREAKING THE BASIC RULES of presenting!

Public speaking and giving presentations is becoming more and more important in many career paths. There are nervous public speakers, confident public speakers, and many people who are making the journey from one to the other. But ALL of them could do with avoiding breaking just the most basic rules of presenting - it's amazing how often one or more of these will crop up at a conference, training day or event. I hope this is taken in the spirit it is intended. :)

Incidentally, this is really aimed at people who habitually do all this stuff, without really knowing they do it. If you already know these rules, then you can probably break them and still make a great presentation!

7 reasons people don't use twitter, and why 'It's a conversation' is the answer to all of them

Quick presentation I had to prepare to link to from another presentation! There are a lot of misperceptions about twitter, many of which I used to share. This stops people using it, which is a shame. Basically, people who don't 'get' twitter, tend not to realise how much it is about dialogue, interaction, and engagement. So this is an effort to tell people - because I think twitter is ace, and information professionals who aren't using it are in real danger of being left out of the loop.
