The BIBLIOGRAPHY!

We’ve chopped up our thoughts, teachings and ideas into several sections that seemed to make sense. Here are links and references to where you can read more about the various ideas, theories, and studies that we mention during our training sessions. Click the Image/section below to get the PDF of the references and ideas.

Warning THIS IS NOT A PAPER! - These are not academic refs, nor are we beholden to the academic system, as such some of the links are to books, articles, videos etc. Believe it or not some of these ideas are just things we came up with, out of our brains!

Presenting best practice doesn’t always have a corresponding study to back it up, and when it does its oftentimes something that cannot or hasn’t been reproduced (see replication crisis for more) – and even if it does, reading the paper isn’t the same as bettering your skills.

All that said here are some good general primers and under that our full list of interesting stuff.

Good books (if you like having whole books)

Presentation Genius - Simon Raybould

Resonate - Nancy Duarte

Hook - Paul McCrory
