So I've been reading Presentation Zen and very much like the concepts.

In practice I know when I do this for my online research course the college is going to rattled by the "unconventional" slides. They expect the standard document style death by PPT format. Not happening. I'm planning on rocking the boat.

They will largely be images with a short captions, something to anchor the story I want to tell. Nothing more.

I felt my ZQ - zen-ness quotient - rising as I typed that :-)

Actually I just typed in that phrase in Google & got no hits, so I can claim to have invented the concept. (I see ZQ used for sleep quality & A New Zealand airport code, but nothing Zen related, so I own this)

I sent my first re-worked deck out for third party appraisal to see if I actually got the concept or if I'm just delusional. We'll see.

Now I'm preparing for my Toronto trip Sunday to Thursday, so far I have scheduled 6 hours of training, I'm meeting at least 11 new people individually and a bunch more at the Refresh Summer Social Monday night.

I start sleeping on Friday I guess.

Cheers
