November 18, 2010 in Corporate Presentability, From the Web, People Presentability | 2 comments

I wrote a post about this cool Lego business cards last years. I found more information about it this week. Thanks to the Wall Street Journal.

In the article, the author compare the effect of this business card with the comparison battle of business cards in the movie American Psycho (2000). For the curious, I found the scene on YouTube.

Hiding in the comments, were a link to Alexander Kjerulf’s post: Coolest business card ever. He explain that only a few employees gets these minifig.

Despite the fact that I wonder how you keep them in your wallet, I’d like to have a business card as cool as this.

Share with me: Does your business card stand from the crowd like this one?

“…It’s not about special effects…. It’s about telling the story.” This reflection about movies is also true for presentations.

I love people who looks a thing from a different angle. Lisa Braithwaite publish this interesting post about public speaking and the use of technology. Don’t let it distract you from your goal….telling a story.

Can Botox reduce your public speaking ability?

No expression Botox reduce the ability to raise the eyebrows which is an important part of facial expression. Can this reduce your public speaking ability?

Angela DeFinis published an interesting post about the effect of Botox on your communication ability. I was surprised. I never thought about Botox this way before. In fact, I never think about Botox anyway, but that’s another story….

Research tells us that there is power in your eyebrows. When used naturally and in synch with your message, raising your eyebrows shows your curiosity, enthusiasm, and awe. Raising your eyebrows creates excitement, even a sense of joy—it shows you are interested and interesting. It’s one skill that will capture attention and radiate confidence.

Even if you are not planning to use Botox, read Angela’s post. You will find interesting points about the use of eyebrows in public speaking.
