This is a famous story about Claude Hopkins, the father of marketing, who, in 1919, was hired by Schlitz beer to create an ad that would save the company. Via Karen Dietz
Ken Morrison's insight:
Ken's Key Takeaway: Hopkins said, "80% of your time should be spent on the offer and the story. It may well be that you have worked so hard and so well and with such focus on your product that you too will not be able to see the true value that you have to offer and the best way to create your crushing offer."

That is so true Ken! We end up not being able to see the forest for the trees. I always encourage those working on their biz stories to get help from a colleague or friend for that outside perspective. That's what I do and it helps a lot!

Have you ever wanted to be more persuasive, convincing, or if nothing else, understand how others try to influence you? …Of course! Who hasn’t?
Understanding how storytelling works in persuasion, influence, and change, and the research/neuroscience that informs it all is critical if anyone is going to work with stories effectively.
And hooray -- Gregory Ciotti has put together his list of favorite books that help us understand persuasion, influence, change, and stories more deeply. We'll all become more articulate and better at our craft -- whether you are a consultant, storyteller, entrepreneur or CEO.
Some of these I've read, some I haven't -- so I can't wait to dig into this list myself.
I hope we all learn lots and gain lots of useable insights for our work. Enjoy!

Ken Morrison's insight:
I am sharing this slideshare for multiple reasons. #1: Even if I didn't like the content, I would share it as an example of a beautiful presentation. #2 I do like the content. There are many important quotes and great points on the convergence of learning, culture and technology. I also like the interesting 'contents' slide that showed images instead of bullet points of what would be covered. Thus, there was not one bullet point in the presentation.

Can we apply concepts used in video production to Prezi design? Let's find out! In this Prezi I pull terms from Bruce Block's book The Visual Story: Seeing the Structure of Film, TV, and New Media. Let me know what you think. Via Baiba Svenca
Ken Morrison's insight:
Honestly, I am always a bit hesitant when people ask me if I will show them how to use Prezi because I see it used incorrectly so often. Much of that frustration is due to too much zooming and poor placement of graphics and text. I feel that this is a good resource for helping us all become better designers of visual aids for presentations.

It is my hope that many share and see and follow the advice given by authors such as Alex Rister in cleaning up presentations and making the message receiver's job much easier. Forget the Rule of 6s and stop handing out your presentations before you read the PowerPoint slides words-for-word.

Today I learned about Ngram Viewer by Google. Google has been rapidly digitizing books. They want to organize all of the worlds information. By doing this, they are able to chart word usage through the history of the printed word. Ngram allows you plot a graph with the history of words. In this simple example, I chose the compare the words curation (blue) vs curate (red)
After looking at the chart, you may be trying to recall what happenened in the second century of the 1800s? Here's some non-academic help: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090211144907AATu5Ux

Her book is selling well. Some are concerned that her wealth is costing here credibility with regular women. I will read it before making such statements. I am sure that there is great knowledge in the book. Until I get a chance to read this book, I will provide this cheat sheet.
My key takeaway is the interesting nugget that one test stated that girls perform worse when given a test that asked them to check M or F before taking the test. It will be interesting to learn more.
