Dan Roam Livres

For most of us, giving a presentation is difficult and nerve-wracking, whether in a one-on-one meeting or in front of thousands. But it doesn't have to be that way. We only struggle when we forget the basic steps we learned in nursery: show and tell. Dan Roam is an award-winning presenter who has taken his whiteboard everywhere, from tiny start-ups to the White house. In this powerful book he introduces new tools for making extraordinary presentations in any setting. You'll learn how to understand your audience, organize your content, build a clear storyline, create effective visuals and channel your fear into fun. From nailing the opening to leaving a lasting impression, you'll soon be able to give the performance of a lifetime . . . time after time. 'A must-read for seasoned presenters and novices alike.' David Allen author of Getting Things Done

The vivid combination of words and pictures can help readers think and learn more quickly, teach and inspire their colleagues, and enjoy happier lives in general. Roam's solution is to merge the best aspects of one's visual and verbal minds.

The acclaimed bestseller about visual problem solving is now enhanced and more impactful. Dan Roam emphasizes that drawing a simple picture can effectively demonstrate our understanding and uncover hidden solutions. With two decades of experience and insights from vision science, Roam equips readers with tools to clarify problems and communicate ideas through visuals. He asserts that everyone possesses an innate talent for visual thinking, regardless of their drawing skills. By thinking in pictures, individuals can generate innovative ideas, tackle challenges creatively, and enhance their ability to convey insights. A notable example is Herb Kelleher and Rollin King's use of a bar napkin to visualize a new airline model, illustrating how direct flights between Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio could disrupt traditional airline structures. This new edition features vibrant colors, larger images, and additional content, further aiding readers in perceiving the world differently. Join a diverse group of professionals—from teachers and engineers to financial analysts and parents—who have harnessed the power of visual problem solving to transform their approaches and outcomes.

A fast and practical visual storytelling method that puts a powerful new toolkit into the hands of leaders, innovators, salespeople, teachers and anyone else who needs to quickly make an impact on increasingly distracted audiences.

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.
