I had the afternoon free, so I went to see a "Bollywood" movie filmed here on location in Mumbai, India titled "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" which I was told roughly translates to "I know you, but I really don't know you." Here is [the official Web site], [picture galleries], [film reviews], and a [plot synopsis (spoiler alert, gives away all the surprises and the totally predictable ending)].

Those of you who read this blog regularly will know that I was excited about visiting Sydney to see Garr Reynolds present his ideas about presentation techniques. Well, that visit was this last weekend and I wanted to give you a rundown about the great opportunity it was and the fact that it led to other wonderful experiences.

I’ve pretty much lived my life thinking there was a plan. Well, maybe not thinking there was a plan, but certainly making a plan for myself and working towards enacting the plan. I remember contemplating the turn of the century when I was in my teens. I worked out that I’d be 34 in 1999.

We're jazzed to find ourselves on this distinguished list. Evan Carmichael does a very credible and thorough job providing motivation and strategies for entrepreneurs. Since we're talking productivity, here are some of my "must reads" when it comes to organizational life and productivity: Wally Bock at Three Star Leadership.

The Marketer's Summer Reading List For 2008 June 20, 2008 11:44 PM Posted by Mitch Joel What business and motivational books are going to push you forward in 2008/2009? For the past few years I've compiled lists of books I'm reading, want to read and need to read.

You may not know this, but by day I’m a Training & Development Manager.  Basically, a teacher for grown-ups (although I spend a lot of my time managing my team and steering the ship). The cool part about this gig is staying current on books related to learning, business, communication, etc.  So today’s influential book selection is one that I’m really digging right now: Brain Rules.

I’ve spent tonight putting together a presentation I have to give on Saturday for a group of Teacher-Librarians. It’s about the experiences I have had with Literature Circles and Digital Storytelling. I presented at last year’s ASLA conference in Adelaide and have been asked to give that presentation for the Melbourne audience I’ll be speaking to.

By Alex Manchester, Editor, The Internal Comms Hub (Australia), Melcrum A notice for anyone on this side of the world who's done a bit of public speaking or simply wants to know how to avoid death by PowerPoint. Garr Reynolds, author of Presentation Zen, is hosting a talk in Sydney on Friday 4th July, courtesy of the StepTwo Designs team.

I came across this fascinating presentation via Garr Reynolds Presentation Zen blog.  If you’re not reading Garr yet you should be. He’s coming to Sydney in a couple of weeks and I’m hoping to get there to soak up his Zen advice about presenting and engaging your audience.

Whenever I give a talk on effective presentations, I repeat this phrase over and over again, like a mantra: Your slides are NOT your presentation My point is that YOU are your presentation: your experience, your anecdotes, your expertise, your opinions, your research, your enthusiasm, your passion.
