Nancy Duarte is a BRILLIANT presentation designer -- she is probably the only designer of an Oscar Winner Slide Show -- as she is the brain and hard work behind Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" . She has written a new book slide:ology which I read part of the comps for many many months ago and which you can see here. I've just ordered my copy and will probably get it for my whole staff.
So she talks about the "dirty work" of designing presentations. And I'm just going to keep expanding this to our work of media and blogger and analyst relations. It's hard. It's never neat. It takes a TON of effort to make the plan work. And I have to say that I'm proud of the fact that we do it over and over again, and are generally proud of our work. The great work comes from great people and in the end the dirty work of running a consultancy when the work is hard is FINDING the RIGHT people and then KEEPING good people and making it VALUABLE to being here and doing the work we do.
Nancy tweeted on this presentation from Mike Rowe who is the star of "Dirty Jobs" which is my son Liam's favorite show (but he calls it "yuck!") and I want to share this here. I love this presentation and his point of view that "we've declared war on work" -- Nancy thanks for sharing.
This is great!
