Present for the Presentation People...
There are a lot of ways to become a better presenter. Really, there are. And some are simple and fun. One of the more fun ones is to watch a really good presenter...
Friday the PowerPoint team had the pleasure of bringing Nancy Duarte to the Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus to reprise her keynote address: A Personal Journey.
Duarte is the CEO and founder of Duarte Design a presentation focused design firm that counts some of the biggest technology companies as clients. They're the group that worked with Al Gore on the slides used in the Oscar winning film An Inconvenient Truth.
Of course Duarte delivered the goods Friday for a full house of softies who turned off their cell phones and stayed all the way through a lively post presentation Q&A. Truly a personal journey, the presentation covers a short history of her business, the effects world and technology trends are having now, and where she expects this to go in the future.
Duarte has graciously shared her work with us, and you, by way of these recorded slides and audio. Enjoy and learn!
