Demo of Video email
Posted by: | Comments
During a recent internet marketing workshop, I discussed a new communication technology, video email.
Originally posted to my Business Training Resource Blog, in this video I display an actual video email that I sent to a client and take a few questions from the audience.

The Art of The Chart
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s a humorous speech I did last fall that incorporated humorous chart ideas from several funny sources:
- Jessica Hagy of Indexed
- Standup comedian Demetri Martin
- Graphjam.com
It is interesting that, even though the audience could read the punchlines in the charts, they laughed the most when it was explained to them.
Great fun and lots of useful learning.
One thing I re-learned is that hand drawing charts is very labor intensive. I sketched out the chart first on paper, then transferred it to the chart. It took many hours and nearly the whole pad. PowerPoint is way easier!

Mastering The Masterstream
Posted by: | CommentsIn this video of a recent speech project, I am attempting a number of things.
First – I am completing an advanced Toastmasters speech, “The Sales Training Speech.” In this project I talk about a new selling methodology called, “Masterstream.” Also, I have one more speech after this one and I’ll have my ATB (Advanced Communicator Bronze)
Second – I am using a new non-linear presentation technology called “Prezi.” See www.prezi.com
Finally – because of the limitations of my camera’s lighting management, the presentation was washed out on the screen. I re-recorded the Prezi presentation and placed it in a “picture-in-picture” on top of the screen in the video.
I covered a lot of different learnings with this one.
Enjoy and your comments are welcome.
