Creating PowerPoint Presentations That Win New Business
PowerPoint Presentations; We’ve all seen them, some of us fear them, they’ve even been known to fill a few of us with dread!
When someone mentions that they are bringing along their PowerPoint to show us we sometimes can’t help but shudder at the thought of having to sit through a multitude of bland, boring slides all crammed to the brim with mind numbing facts and figures.
Have you ever wondered if that’s what’s

Mind Mapping and Broadcasting your Expertise
Yes we have all heard about mind mapping. It’s those funny squiggly lines and pictures that we draw in order to remember things right? Cute child-like drawings that are meant to trigger our memory because they branch like natural objects whether branches of a tree or the inner workings of our brains. This isn’t a lecture on mind mapping though; you can find out everything you know by contacting the leading thinkers in this field like Barry Mapp or Tony Buzan. I’ve been using mind maps for years to plan projects, remember speeches, link ideas or answer exam questions. And once you’ve grasped how to do it then it becomes a tool that can be used and developed over and over again in all different situations.

Social networking – An introduction for beginners
Unprecedented growth of Social Media
As I continue bringing Social Networking and Social Marketing to the masses through my seminars, I find many people are very confused or even intimidated by the sheer number of social network applications available for people to use these days, and the number continues to grow. When we made our “Introduction To Social Networking” training video earlier this year there were around 375 mainstream social networking type applications. It’s now estimated (only 5 months later) to be in excess of

More than good food on the menu!
It’s always nice when people say “well done” but this comment made me smile more than most:
As a presenter I take my audience on a journey of discovery so there is nothing more rewarding than watching the sparks of an idea I planted burst into flames of inspiration like this!
Lyn was a guest at the Best-of-Bedford, Best-of-Luton and Bedford Chamber of Commerce event where I had been invited to give a Social Networking presentation at Belini’s Italian restraunt, and I’m looking forward to giving more presentations like this at TheBusiness Club Cambridge, The Business Club North London, The Best of Cambridge and many other venues around the country. I’m enjoying seeing how
