While death by PowerPoint has been a much-talked-about phenomenon for decades, collaborative slideware and AI have elevated slideuments, Frankendecks and the resulting poor presentations to epidemic proportions. I’m starting a new writing project to address these problems of the workplace and provide readers with simple, actionable advice to elevate the way they tell visual stories and convey information to their colleagues.

I prefer fewer meetings and more time to tinker and stay close to my craft. However, in recent months, I’m being more generous with my time so I can be a supportive colleague.

Face-to-face team meetings don’t always need an agenda. Sometimes, it’s about taking a leap of faith with your teammates.

A craft isn’t only about the outputs it produces. The hard parts are not often visible in plainsight.

The “disagree-and-commit” pattern works only when we’ve had a real chance to disagree. Otherwise it becomes a weaponised phrase to silence diverse voices and you risk arriving at poor decisions and conclusions.
