“Design a compelling
title slide with a catchy
title that can be read even
at a tiny size.”

“Read presentations that
get shared to understand
how it works.”

“Make it sexy and
visual and bold and
bright and fun.”

“If you don't provide a
clear and compelling
reason for people to care
about your message or
story immediately,
you've already failed.”

“Without a doubt, the #1
mistake people make on
SlideShare is failing to
customize content.”

“Social media promotion
is the best way to spread a
presentation virally.
Follow a mix-and-match
approach of promoted
posts, highly targeted
Facebook ads and
LinkedIn ads.”

“Most people try to
stuff too many points
into SlideShare, and that
just doesn't work. If you
find yourself sliding into a
2nd or 3rd point, start a
new SlideShare.”

“If it doesn't get many
views, shares, likes,
adjust the presentation
and re-publish. Iterate
your way to a great
presentation.”

“Tell a story. Use pictures
of babies, puppies or cats.
And always make the
customer the hero of
your story.”

“Breakout SlideShares have
two nice fonts — one for
headings and one for body
copy, bold colors, a standout
front page, a nice theme in
terms of the images they are
using and great content to
back it up.”

“Kurt Vonnegut said
that every scene in a book
needs to either propel the
story forward or reveal
something. The same is
true for every slide in a
presentation.”

“I see each piece of
content as something
that must be maximized,
adapted and shared as
many places as are
relevant.”

“Make sure you have
a plan to tell the world
about your story with
blogs and articles.”

The Future of Everything

Charbel Zeaiter

What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony? Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology. Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.

The power of creative collaboration

Table19

This document discusses better collaboration between agencies and clients. It notes that historically, agencies did not provide clients with a full understanding of the creative process or ideas, and clients did not know how to properly evaluate work. It advocates that agencies start presentations with the agreed upon creative brief to provide necessary context before presenting ideas. Agencies should tell a story that bridges the brief to the final idea, giving clients a complete understanding. The document also provides models for properly evaluating ideas and ensuring collaborative discussions between agencies and clients.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldaba

ux singapore

How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves? Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

The document discusses financial leverage and how it is calculated. Financial leverage measures the relationship between earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and earnings per share (EPS). It reflects how a change in EBIT impacts EPS due to the presence of fixed financial charges like interest and dividends. The degree of financial leverage (DFL) is calculated as the percentage change in EPS divided by the percentage change in EBIT. Financial leverage exists when there are fixed financial costs, and is a measure of how much debt a firm uses.
