Make PowerPoint Your Perfect Presenting Partner

We have all experienced ‘Death by PowerPoint’, and it isn’t pleasant.

There are few things more tedious than listening as a presenter reads from their zillionth over detailed slide, which they’ve also given you as a handout and emailed to you prior to the presentation. Under such conditions, an audience can perish in seconds.

The Business of Play

Play is a serious business, there’s no doubt about that.As children we play all the time; it’s how we explore the world around us and, crucially, how we explore relationships with others.

As adults the amount of play we engage in, especially at work, diminishes. Not only is this a great shame, after all playfulness is joyfulness, it’s also counterproductive.

Play isn’t time wasting or frivolity; it’s a way of working.

It’s time to prioritise play.

(which is why Barcelona is the best team in the world)

The best teams are built on a foundation of shared meaning; but shared meaning is difficult to find.

It goes without saying that non verbal communication is as important as verbal communication.

As trainers we are constantly aware of the signals given off by others; attuned to their mood, state and body language; but to what extent do we need to dissect body language? To what degree do we need to take the communicative human creature to pieces in order to understand them?

It's an interesting question.
