New Podcast Episode – “No, we don’t do that”
As long-time designers, there are design services that once were offered, but not offered any longer. Nolan, Troy and Sandy talk about some of those presentation design and graphic design services that they no longer offer, or sometimes never offered. And this conversation is a continuation of a conversation Nancy Duarte started at the 2022 Presentation Summit when talking about niche focus and offering. Listen here.
Time with Nancy Duarte
At the 2022 Presentation Summit conference, I had a short time with visiting with Nancy Duarte who was only there for 1 evening. Inspiration, fun and lots of stories!

It’s a Small World – But Not This Small
This is from an actual email I received – it was too good to not share. Everyone says, “it is a small world” and “technology brings us together”. But a company over 5,000 miles away (8000 kilometers) is not “just down the road”…
BTW, created the above graphic in less than 3 minutes using PowerPoint as the layout canvas and some Noun Project icons (see, connecting this random post to the blog focus!).

Why Do My Slides Start at Zero? (an update)
The question is why do the slides in this deck start with zero!?
Back in January 2007 I answered this question in the blog post. Fast forward 15 years and I just had a slide deck that started with zero. I do not hide that this blog is as much my resource as anyone’s. So, a quick search gave me the answer to a long forgotten how-to in PowerPoint and I was able to finish the presentation makeover project.
But I noted that back in 2007, PowerPoint’s interface was bit different and getting to this setting is a bit different now.
To change the starting slide number:
- Go to the DESIGN tab
- Click the SLIDE SIZE drop down menu
- Select CUSTOM SLIDE SIZE
- The Slide Size dialog is much the same today as it was in 2007 (now with Microsoft’s flat design aesthetic)
- Set the starting slide number in the NUMBER SLIDES FROM field
