Improve your presentations with "Presentation Zen"

Hi Friends,

If you are looking to improve your presentations, then Garr Reynolds is your go-to guy. His book "Presentation Zen" helped me improve my presentations significantly and this has served me well in my doctoral work and at conferences. Here is a link to his site, and a page with his top ten tips for creating more effective slides:

Garr Reynolds - Top Ten Tips

And for a useful (and fun-to-read book), pick up a copy of "Presentation Zen."

cheering you on in your work,

Harriet

Working adult students, on my mind...

I hope this blog will be helpful to friends and others involved in a variety of endeavors. However, I created the blog with students in mind and continue to develop it with that specific group as my focus.

I believe that with the increase in evening, weekend, and low-residency programs, students are working more and more in isolation. If we were all full-time students on campus, we would have the informal support that comes with being able to go down the hall and talk with a colleague, etc. But instead, we are working late nights and weekends at home in front of the laptop.

With that in mind, I hope the encouragement lounge provides brief moments of respite and energizing connection. This does not at all replace valuable face-to-face contact. Many aspects of the academic journey can only be addressed via in-depth conversations with colleagues and teachers. And I would always rather sit down and talk with someone than to communicate online. Nonetheless, my aim is to give you one more channel for quick hits of support.
