   So you think pecha kucka is a potentially “One Trick Fits All” strategy which is essentially and generally less effective than what Danial Pink thinks?

   There is no such thing as a One Trick Fits All scenario.

   Okay silly me that didn´t check who you were. For the rest of it: I disagree. I find no reason to defend myself. Have a great weekend.

   I don’t think you know how YouTube works. I didn’t post the video. It’s not my presentation. Read those last two sentances again. Then have a think about my comment on intelligence.

   This is not about winning and loosing. I think your reaction is hillarious. You are taking my remark personally in stead of merely going on discussing what signs should do and shouldn\t do. This is not about what I am like, or who you are. I was interested in discussing the (mis)use of signs. Your presentation was not bad at all. Signs ARE for everyone. They are also a controlling tool. Critique is good for us, your presentation and me. And also for society. You may disagree. Fine.

    If you cannot see that’s you are being a hypocrite then you have no hope. I am arguing your opinion is wrong and you should check your thinking otherwise you run the risk of assumed intelligence. If you’ve taken that personally – too bad. you’ve just confirmed what I thought. you are a bit too emiotnally sensitive to pass judgement. Signs are for everyone not just one person.

    I think you are displaying not being able to take critique seriously and respectfully. It means you do not respect your subject either. That is a shame. To direct people in such ways as in some of your examples can be to belittle people, at the least. I think it will not help this world at all. I am not attacking you as a person, but you are doing so towards me. That is a terrible thing to do, and you might want to ask yourself if you belong to “those who know how to behave”.
    Good luck.

    ‘We’ are not intelligent people. There are intelligent people who know how to behave. However, the experience can be improved for those who are more likely not to follow these rules by these types of signs. If you think this is ‘manipulating’ then you might not be as intelligent as you think.

    I am sorry, but I would like signs more creative and not (almost) emotionally manipulating all the time, like in your examples. We are intelligent people, do we really need to have social ground rules pointed out and explained these ways? That´s a terrible thing really.

    Thank your for that example, I just heared about PK and wanted to find out more, and your presentation is a good demonstration. But it also points out a problem of the method: When there is a strong connection between the explanation and the images, the presentation suffers badly when the speaker lags behind. It needs very precise timing, otherwise the people get really irritated when you still talk about the last slide and already show the next one.

    good talk, but

    it’s not “peh-CHAch-ka”
    but rather “peh-CHAK-cha

    This is how Powerpoint should be used. I don’t personally adhere to the time limit per slide. However, the point of letting the image silently “speak” WITH the speaker – not in place of – is what this presentation skill is all about in my mind. Jeff Korhan

    Thanks

    Thank you very much, that gave me an idea how I’m going to prepare and what I should put into my Pecha Kucha presentation.

    Is “Fundamental” supposed to be misspelled?

    This was my introduction to Pecha Kucha and I loved it. The subject matter had a lot to do with that though. Great job!
    On another note, my vid titled “Reading is Fundemental” clearly isn’t Pecha Kucha. Since I’m not familiar with this topic, does anyone know if that particular video falls into any presentation classification?

    Just posted a video response … you say towards the start of your video, Daniel, that doing a PK on PK is too post-modern for you…… so I got all post modern and did it instead! Thanks for inspiring me!
