The Two-Hour Creative Sprint to the Most Persuasive Presentation of Your Life

The Pop-up Pitch

This original book provides a whole new way of looking at business problems and ideas. Dan Roam demonstrates how thinking with pictures can help you discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve your ability to share your insights with others. Used properly, a simple drawing on a humble napkin is more powerful than Excel or PowerPoint. It can help us crystallise ideas, think outside of the box, and communicate in a way that other people simply “get”. Drawing on 20 years of visual problem solving combined with recent discoveries in vision science, Roam shows us how to clarify a problem or sell an idea by visually breaking it down using a simple set of visualisation tools. His strategies take advantage of everyone’s innate ability to look, see, imagine and show

Бла-бла-бла. Что делать, когда слова не работают

Komplexe Sachverhalte, umständlich erklärt und obendrein langweilig dargestellt – oder kurz: Bla Bla Bla. So empfinden wir nicht selten die wortreichen Vorträge und Power-Point-Präsentationen, die uns in Meetings, Seminaren und Fortbildungen einschläfern. Kein Wunder, dass wir das meiste wieder sofort vergessen. Mit Dan Roams neuem Band ist Schluss damit. Er führt anschaulich vor, wie das bewährte Prinzip des Storytellings seine inspirierende Wirkung voll entfaltet: in Kombination mit Bildern, Skizzen, Entwürfen oder ganzen Bildgeschichten. Ein Bild sagt mehr als 1000 Worte. Wenn man sich diese Tatsache geschickt zunutze macht, hat man das probate Gegenmittel für Langeweile und Vergessen. Und man lernt, wie man richtig Stoff sondiert, ihn strukturiert und schlussendlich präsentiert. Dan Roam sagt, was zu tun ist, wenn Worte ihren Dienst versagen – oder besser: Er zeigt es uns anschaulich in Bildern, Zeichnungen und Skizzen.

Bla Bla Bla

Ever been to so many meetings that you couldn't get your work done? Ever fallen asleep during a bulletpoint presentation? Ever watched the news and ended up knowing less? Welcome to the land of Blah Blah Blah. The Problem: We talk so much that we don't think very well. Powerful as words are, we fool ourselves when we think our words alone can detect, describe, and defuse the multifaceted problems of today. They can't-and that's bad, because words have become our default thinking tool. The Solution: This book offers a way out of blah-blah-blah. It's called "Vivid Thinking." In Dan Roam's first acclaimed book, The Back of the Napkin, he taught readers how to solve problems and sell ideas by drawing simple pictures. Now he proves that Vivid Thinking is even more powerful. This technique combines our verbal and visual minds so that we can think and learn more quickly, teach and inspire our colleagues, and enjoy and share ideas in a whole new way. The Destination: No more blah-blah-blah. Through Vivid Thinking, we can make the most complicated subjects suddenly crystal clear. Whether trying to understand a Harvard Business School class, or what went down in the Conan versus Leno battle for late-night TV, or what Einstein thought about relativity, Vivid Thinking provides a way to clarify anything. Through dozens of guided examples, Roam proves that anyone can apply this systematic approach, from leftbrain types who hate to draw to right-brainers who hate to write. This isn't just a book about improving communications, presentations, and ideation; it's about removing the blah-blah- blah from your life for good.
