Pointing out presentation pitfalls

Do you have any horror stories you relive constantly over the presentation that went haywire?  I am failing superbly at staying within MINDFULness, the latest phenomenon not quite realized.  (remember April 2015 when I predicted on my blog OptioneerJM that adult coloring was going to catch on and why you should too?)

What disastrous presentation can you never forget or let yourself go on? Me? I did some reflection upon creating powerpoints and how this is a skill that I have under developed while critical in my lifelong learning journey, prevailing self-development, knowledge junkie crutch and continual improvement ......

 I've been spending some time self-critiquing on Powerpoint savviness ... or not?   READ more: https://optioneerjm.blogspot.ca/2016/10/powerful-points-on-powerpoint.html

Power points

This actually got me thinking. MicroSoft's "Power Point" or better known by acronym .ppt (especially helpful for the 140 character limitations of Twitter) is its own noun.

A symbol of "arriving" completely and totally in the History Books as a true innovator.  

I'll do some more checking into this and report back later on.

A Pictorial Post

Flash back to the 80s and 90s when I was an advertising sales representative. We didn't have fancy titles, the title of where we worked in the media was our badge of honor. Mine was magazines. How I love the smell of the ink without the annoyance of a whole lot of black stuff rubbed on my thumb and index finger.

Some words float out of me as part of those days. I'll have to root through and find some of my favorite projects and share on ThePublisher blog that I created to talk about publishing. It is a topic I love in the act of sharing information and making the world a more beautiful place.

A Pictorial, as I recall, and before I go to the ever-handy WIKIpedia for the answers ::..... is an editorial piece that is almost all visual photography, imagery or art with only captions below minimally. It allows the viewer to absorb and take in the image fleetingly capturing where your eyes fall upon. Comments unnecessary, yet impossible if you are its creator, who happens to l…

Things that will make you think and say "huh"

I was looking around, surfing the net and was wandering indiscriminately around based on the various links that are emailed to me. I guard my email address in such a way that I have everything organized, categorized. It is important that when I subscribe to a site, that it does something for me. Personally. Not my husband, nor my family nor my employer. It is my time. Yes, it makes me a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, employee when I do so.

What I see and what I post are random and make me mentally say "huh". Not loudly as an acclamation "HUH!!" nor drawn out with puzzlement as in "huH??" Just a small registration, like a blip, I mentally register with a "huh". As in, interesting, let me read more.

You would think that as a person you have to be guarded and wary of giving too much of yourself away, to be taken unawares and exposed to danger, inconvenience, unwarranted attention, unsolicited retention.

Triumph over struggle

This blog was originally written earlier today (Saturday, March 4, 2017) on my optioneerJM blog on Word Press ~ where I find an atmosphere of support and celebration of original writing among those who write themselves. It is the highest compliment any fledgling writer can have.Like most of us at the tail end of Baby Boomers while being drowned out by Millennials, we're trying to get ahead. Achieve success, notoriety or acclaim. Subsidize our career choices with our inner voices. To help others, to help ourselves. To exhaust our demons by writing and exhuming scars that life has left on our brains.Confidence or competenceA struggling battle between what we want to express and be appreciated for our words. So many of us write to right the struggles we have fought, the wars we have lost, the lessons we have learned.Gratitude: pitiful compensationWe appreciate the acknowledgement by others who are in chained to the common goal: of being paid for our words. What a steep mounta…
