Ode Magazine - quick stories and information tidbits that focus on the positive and the possible.

The Story of Stuff - www.storyofstuff.com with Annie Leonard
From a communications' perspective, I was delighted to watch this video and see the refreshing approach taken to conveying a point of view with supporting evidence in an engaging and easily digestible way. The visuals are fantastic, and the way Annie engages with them aligns completely with my philosophy on using visual support in a presentation.

Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery by Garr Reynolds
This book has some of the best examples of great PowerPoint slides® that I've come across. If you know your visuals are missing the mark, take a look at this book. If you need help beyond your visuals, call me to discuss how I can support you to develop and deliver a compelling message.

The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need by Daniel H. Pink.
This manga (comic book) for adults is great fun, as fast read, and a great reminder of the principles that help ensure happiness at work. If you're feeling stuck or dissatisfied, grab a copy. It's also a wonderful gift for high-school and college graduates.
