Why is it better to visualize ideas? There are three main advantages: diagrams are fast to read and understand, simple to create and they show context clearly. In this guide, I'm sharing a simple method changing the text to diagrams, so you can learn how to do it quickly. Use these tips to improve your presentations and create powerful slides.

Easy projectsGood times
Seth Godin blog:
Where does trust
come from?
Hint: it never comes from the good times
and from the easy projects.
We trust people because they showed up
when it wasn't convenient, because they
told the truth when it was easier to lie and
because they kept a promise when they
could have gotten away with breaking it.
