According to Nancy Duarte, author of slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations, we're often afraid to unleash our natural storytelling instincts because we're afraid to be different—afraid to stand out from our corporate norm. And this leads to presentations that put our audiences to sleep—or worse—fail to communicate the information that we hope to convey. In her recent webcast, You are a Natural Born (Visual) Storyteller, Nancy showed the audience how to infuse life, intelligence, and good design into their presentations. The recording is now ready for viewing. Read on.

slide:ology: A Gorgeous Presentation According to Garr Reynolds
"Slide:ology is practical, it's highly visual, and it's beautiful. I love this book," observes the visionary author of "Presentation Zen," Garr Reynolds, in his popular blog discussing professional presentation design. According to Garr, "Slide:ology should come bundled with every copy of PowerPoint or Keynote ever sold from now on. I received a draft copy about three months ago that blew me away--the final product is even better than I expected. I just got my copy over the weekend. At 274 pages, the book is meaty without being bloated." In fact, in order to demonstrate how easy it is to artfully place elements in Keynote and save the file as a video, Garr created a entertaining video review of Nancy Duarte's slide:ology using a "cheap but useful Nikon point-n-shoot."
