Notes:
- Visual Storytelling is the art of using language and images to convey a narrative account of real or imagined events.
- How to make an effective presentation? You must know it thoroughly. Practice, rehearse. Get to the point where you can let it flow when you're in it.
- Don't just read what's on the slide. Use at most one sentence. Use images to help reinforce your message
- "Life is so difficult when you don't know what you're talking about."
- Ideas are easy... Strategies are hard. You need to understand that a presentation is a performance.
- Teaching forces you to learn your topic. If you want to learn about something, sign up to teach others about it.
- “I once read that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I fundamentally disagree with this idea. I think that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of hope.”
- “A brand is simply a set of beliefs. And if you don't create a set of beliefs around your products or services, well, you stand for nothing - you have no values and no vision.”
- “Actually - and ironically - people aren't really interested in a new brand form or flavor as much as they are interested in how a brand can change, impact, or improve their lives. They want brands around them that make them feel special and provide some social cache or confidence.”
- Interviewing is like a game of billiards. Each question should leave you in a position to hit the next shot/ask the next question. Be overprepared so that you can flow in the moment.
- "You have to listen and really focus on the person."
- Research everything
- Courage and confidence - The reps lead to confidence. Confidence leads to courage.
- Branding --“Branding is a deliberate differentiation.” Brands aspire for consistency.
- "You can't metabolize regret." -- Go for it.
- At age 50, Debbie came out... And felt so much freedom from it
- “Don’t edit your hopes and dreams before you can ever attempt them.”
