How to Make Your Feedback Inspiring

By Kyle Murtagh, Toastmasters International

When you are about to receive feedback on your performance, how do you feel? If you’re a bit stressed your reaction won’t be unusual.

Tense, worried, and slightly scared are typically how people feel before they are given personally prescribed feedback. For the person providing the evaluation, breaking through this emotional blockade can be challenging; if this is approached in the wrong way, the goal of the feedback—to improve performance—can be more difficult to achieve.

PresenterMedia’s HD Video Backgrounds: Conversation with Judd Albrecht

      Judd Albrecht has always been a creative person, from when he was young all the way up until now. Some ways he satisfies that need to be creative are animating, creating graphics, writing/playing music and playing with his kids. He went to school and graduated with a degree in 3D animation. Along with a background in animation, he developed many more skills that have made him a well-rounded digital artist. The thing he loves most about being an artist at PresenterMedia is being able to create content that will help people better express their message and help bring their presentations visually to life.

In this conversation, Judd talks about HD Video Backgrounds from Presenter Media.

Sound Across Specific Slides in PowerPoint for the Web

Once you add an audio track such as a music clip to your PowerPoint slides, you can let the inserted audio span across all your slides from the first one to the last by selecting the convenient Play Across Slides option. Yes, that’s a great solution if you need the same music clip to be playing while looping on all your slides. However, in the real world, there will always be a need for something different. What if you want the music to play only across some successive slides?
