Sprinkled with wonderful quotations, this presentation sure has an edge over others when it comes to thinking creatively.
4 steps to being creative:
- Be curious – Play. Suspend Judgement. Ask (lots of) Questions.
- Make connections – Talk to people from different areas. Try something new (Each day, we may add! ). Step sideways and see another angle.
- Challenge yourself – Take Risks. Accept failures. Question assumptions.
- Cultivate your ideas – Daydream. Give ideas time to grow. Consider all possibilities.
Don’t forget to check out the presentation – Creative Thinking: Your Edge here.

One of the best visual presentations that we have ever seen is here – The Miniature Earth.
Use of text with photographs is done exquisitely and deserves a look more than once. The content is presented in a lucid fashion complementing each of the images in an intimate manner. There is a very balanced use of transparencies and each transition is made very meaningful.
Beyond doubt, this presentation has not just an important message to deliver, but scores on each point of making a powerfully impacting, visual presentation.
How many subtleties did you notice in the presentation? Look forward to hearing from you!
