#feministfriday episode 410 | Just being you

Good morning,

Here is a question for those of you in corporate life. Do you ever sit staring at a powerpoint slide and feeling like there's a perfectly elegant solution to how to visualise something that is nevertheless totally out of the reach of your brain? I hope so because that is how I feel in this moment. I honestly only think I'm working with two dimensions and yet a table isn't cutting it!!! argh.

Anyway, speaking of powerpoint (tangentially) I love that Alice has started doing book reviews on her blog. Let's look at one that she did of Everything I Know about Life I Learned from PowerPoint:

Now, you may be thinking ‘I don’t think it’s appropriate to put myself into this presentation on our OKR progress for Q3’. Well you’re wrong my love. Of course, the presentation should contain the facts you want me to understand, but I’m only going to understand them if I am paying attention, and I’m more likely to pay attention if you’re being interesting, and you can be interesting by just being you.

This is actually good advice for me in this moment! Thanks Alice. Maybe it's good advice for you too. <3

A xxx.
