Wave Your Hands Say Yeah!

How can you make the big screen an interactive screen? At CinemaCon , Barco and Audience Entertainment showed what an interactive, crowd-controlled experience can look like. To say that the crowd went completely bananas would be an exaggeration, but they waved, smiled, giggled, enjoyed themselves and – did indeed interact! Interaction between the audience and […]

Blue, blue, blue…

Presentation preparations – and I found…

Delivering presentations without getting the audience to fall asleep are about preparation, having a story to tell and some skills.

So What?

Customer Value Proposition? So what?!!

Big Hairy Audacious Goals

For anyone working in sales or in any growth-oriented business, this should be a known phrase. Or at least variations of it, like “Big, Fat, Hairy Goals”. I find it even more important to make your own, personal goals. I have made mine – and I’ll let you in on them. These goals can of […]

The Soundtrack of my Christmas

Christmas music and I did initially not get off well year as I was in Orlando, Florida late November and early December. It was 25-28 degrees Celsius and loads of really, really bad versions of traditional Christmas songs played everywhere; Hotel Lobbies, Shopping Malls, Restaurants and Diners. But, last night, it was time to get […]

First, make sure you have something to say

Stories are important! A story is good, but a great told story is something you will remember forever! And great presenters know how to convey stories. Stories are being told daily, at lunch, when back from work or travels and they’re part of life, almost from the day we were born to the day we […]
