The other day I bought a copy of the book Presentaion Zen by Garr Reynolds. I have been looking for a book like this for years. It teaches you have to do decent presention not just the standard “don’t put too much on a slide” power point tips but how to plan them though to giving them and most importantly how to make them look good. He is coming from a designery mac user’s world of less is more and I really like it. I will be trying to apply what I have learnt when i give my talk at unConference in Singapore next month.

I just wanted to recommend an episode of In Business on radio 4 as mentioned by Klaus on his blog. The programme talks to entrepreneurs to establish why they believe that the current economic situation is a great time to create innovative new startup.  I agree with what is said in the programme but I also agree with Klaus that the current situtation is going cause a big shift from big traditional companies to a new models of business. It is an interesting time.
