My presentation from this morning is now available on my site. Get it from the side bar or from:

Selling Professional Development Techniques at a Hostile Shop

Update:

According to his comments, Ryan Stewart doesn't know what this "powerpoint thing" is ,and I need to use share before he could see this presentation.

    Great presentation, Terry. I read through it and I think I can adopt some of what you're saying to push through some non-development projects that i'm working on. Great work!

    @Guamanaic Thanks a lot. I didn't think about it, but this definitely could be extended past development.

    Pssssttttt......(share.adobe.com).

    Embeddable goodness ;)

    @ryan, dude, don't you know anything, share doesn't work with Powerpoint.
  • 5 Ryan Stewart

    Ummmm, I just uploaded some Powerpoints and they're working just fine.

    Speed of innovation baby!

    I *was* joking, but I uploaded my pptx files (Office 2008) and Share doesn't roll with them.

    PPTX makes the baby Bruce Chizen cry.

    backwards convert and then upload them. I want to see the pretty slides everyone was Twittering about.

    No need to invoke the baby Bruce Chizen. There's your share version.

    Now I REALLY regret missing your presentation live, Terry! Awesome stuff, and thanks for posting it. You've got the moral persuasion tactics down pat! You have to get into the head of people to convince them, and this is great food for thought. And, if you can ever convert a "hostile", let me know.
