How to Move Beyond Stock Photography Sent Tuesday, August 17, 2010 View as html
Next Workshop on Thursday: How to Move Beyond Stock Photography 
------------------------------------------------------------------- 
In the first wave of presentation improvement, we moved beyond
bullet points toward a more photographic approach.  But now many
presentations look like they are on stock photography overload,
with one photo appearing after another like a slide carousel, with
no coherent story that ties all of the different pictures together.
 
Learn how to move beyond stock photography and toward a more
coherent visual storyboard at our next weekly workshop at 9am
Pacific on Thursday, August 19th.
 
If you'd like to volunteer your topic for the workshop, email
stacey@bbpmedia.com, or show up 10 minutes early to the workshop --
difficult topics are welcome.

New Video: Apply the Power of Metaphor to Your Stories 
------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Tap into the deep power of metaphor to make your ideas - and your
slides - cohere. 
 
Watch the first 25 minutes of this workshop recorded Aug. 12, 2010
and you'll learn:
- Why metaphors work
- A range of classic presentation metaphors 
- Ways you can extend your metaphor throughout your entire
presentation 

(Unfortunately the rest of the recording was lost because of
technical difficulties.)

Points, here's your chance to get a jump start and get trained in

Advanced courses on Nov. 11 and 12 in Los Angeles, you're invited
to attend a third day of basic certification training on Nov. 13 -
at no charge!  The day will focus on teaching you to teach others
how to apply BBP, and you'll end the day with an assignment to
later deliver your own 1-hour training webinar on the BBP website.
When you're done, we'll issue you a certificate indicating that
you've completed the basic certification program. 

  
I look forward to seeing you online and live in Los Angeles!
 
Best,
