Using a Slide Deck to Tell a StoryThe following is a slide deck (made in Apple’s Keynote, which is why I’m not calling it PowerPoint presentation), demonstrating how to tell a story with more visuals than words. If this was for a live presentation, I would use even fewer words.
Great Storytelling From the New Yorker ConferenceNew Yorker writer and bestselling
author of the Tipping Point Malcom Gladwell demonstrated his brilliant storytelling talent recently at the 2008 New Yorker Conference (video). During a session titled “Stories from the Near Future,” Gladwell spoke about his upcoming book, which outlines how millions of dollars are spent to find the best job candidates and yet the system is entirely flawed in the modern world.
If you have enjoyed his books or New Yorker articles, you’ll probably find his verbal storytelling just as entertaining as his writing.
