Guy Kawasaki brings out some interesting points about business. Ten Things to Learn This School Year picks on the general theme that what you learn in school is often completely opposite what is useful in business. Some of these points are brought up in his Art of the Start presentation.
I’ve been working on slides for a presentation at work and I’m trying to take Guy’s 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint to heart. These are also covered in the Art of the Start talk as well. I like the 30 point font rule. As part of this I’ve been using Gliffy for some of the diagrams in the presentation. I’m not a heavy diagram user so I don’t have a detailed comparison of Gliffy versus Visio, but I will say that so far Gliffy has been a pleasure to use.
