Seth Godin’s The Modern Talking Pad

On screen presentations are great, but often they can be overkill if you’re presenting to only one or two people.

A “Walk-Through” deck has been a typical solution in which a presentation is printed and paged through while sitting next to your viewer (or “audient” as some of used to say.)

This can be effective, but it still lacks a sense of immediacy and interactivity. Seth Godinpublished a blog post recently with a new solution that I wanted to share:

The Modern Talking Pad.

Seth apparently has been having success lately with a bound deck that he removes information from and then fills it back in in real time while sitting with his client.

Jan Schultink who writes the great Slides That Stick expands on Seth’s idea and gives an example in his blog post:


Take a look, let me know what you think and if you have done something similar or do so in the future. I’m going to start suggesting this to some of my guys for smaller meetings…
