The Eyeful Blog
This is where we share whatever excites our storytellers, presentation designers, or trainers (or, on occasion, gets them hot under the collar).
You might be looking for pithy sales presentation best practice or the very latest thinking on PowerPoint design. If it’s presentation related, chances are you’ll find it on our blog (we’ve even made it searchable to make it quicker and easier to access the good stuff).
Also, check out the Eyeful Vault for a deeper dive into presentation best practice or follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter for up to the minute thinking.

Everyone wins.

Training: Tailored…But Off-The-Peg
I’m a funny shape. My long torso and short legs have been the bane of my life for many reasons, including finding a suit that fits. I don’t want (or, frankly, need) a bespoke suit crafted from scratch by the finest tailors of the land, but equally, anything I chose...
There was much more to the last 12 months than just Covid…
2020 was tough – very tough – for many. But it also prompted us to reappraise the way we work, from turning sales processes on their heads to forcing a rethink of traditional marketing strategies almost overnight.
