The iconic U.S. 0160; Apple joined the conga line of companies quitting this organization.  But even without this political and theatrical ham-handedness, the U.S. Chamber and most of traditional organizations are a dying breed.   0160;  The jobs they used to do for Chamber of Commerce got it  on the chin, again.  0160; It's following out the door Nike, Exelon, Pacific Gas and Electric and others. 

During big-time, gut-wrenching crises, organizations have a tendency to do one of two things. textbook example of a leadership vacuum is the initial U.S. There's a lesson in all this for you and your organization. Speak in plain terms about what your organization is doing to weather the storm. They jam their Florsheim's into their mouths to the ankle. Or they hunker down, duck their heads, and try to ride out rough weather.

We call this a "PresentationCamp" because the event is part of the "BarCamp" movement - an "un-conference" event where there is no formal organizer or sponsor, no pre-planned agenda, and no pre-set presentations - we all decide together on the day of the event what we will do and how we do it. Participants pay a nominal fee of $10 to cover some of the expenses, but otherwise everyone participates as a volunteer, co-leader, co-presenter and co-learner.

However, the event organizers’ decision to make the slide decks available to participants  a couple weeks ago gave me just what I needed to share with you a slide make-over. The subject of this make-over is the slide deck presented by the US Coast Guard.  US Coast Guard - Social Media Last month, I attended the Government Web 2.0 Best Practices Workshop hosted by FEMA. 

But everyone else in your organization stubbornly sticks to the bullet-point slides. In many organizations, bullet-point slides are the way presentations are done. Many organizations stick to bullet-point slides for this reason. But I accept the reality that in some organizations this is the way it’s done. You’ve read Presentation Zen and Slideology and you’re convinced about the benefits of using visually-engaging PowerPoint slides when you present. How can you persuade them to change their minds?

With digital, everyone of us is a lobbyist.  0160; That's because we know exactly how to gain access to the powers-that-be through social media organizing, performance art, fund-raising, and depicting suffering - our own and others. ...Tags: "Mom, Dad, I decided to be a lobbyist."    quot;      Jesus Christ didn't go that route of career planning.
