Last Saturday I joined a group of remarkable and inspiring people at AIESEC Imagine 2007. I was also invited to give a lecture there. The topic I contributed was “Beyond Reasoning – How to Change People’s Minds” – a mixture of my personal resume and the lessons learned about communicating with people you want to convince.
I’d like to share my Keynote presentation with you under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. But beware: If you didn’t attend the conference, they might not be very useful for you, as I tend to be a minimalist and use my slides only to support my spoken words (for which by the way I earned some really positive remarks – thank you).
I had to remove some pictures from the presentation which have not been compatible with the license I use for the presentation.
Many attendees asked me how I did the presentation. From a technical point of view, it is nothing special, just some text and a bit of creativity. Most pictures I used in there come from a symbol font which is called Webdings. You don’t even need a Mac to do such a presentation.
If you are an Imagine 2007 attendee and you ended up here on my blog (great!), let me recommend the following blog entries to you, which are more compatible with the themes from Imagine 2007 than all the other weird technical things here:
* The Seven Faces of Effective Innovation
* 3 Truths about Numbers
* 5 Steps to Defeat
If you liked my presentation style, see who inspired me.
Hi Stefan,
Just noticed that you left Metro from my Xing contact list. I had no idea that you were so Web 2.0 (and a Mac fanboy to boot)! Best of luck in your new endeavors.
