I have created a new page on my corporate web site. This page is a list of 30+ free resources for you. It includes slide shows, posters, documents, training activities, etc. 

Let me know if there are other elements you need that I might be able to list for you. Enjoy.

New Visual Tool for Indexing Web Sites

I stumbled upon this app (www.PearlTrees.com) and have found it to be a very functional and cool method for organizing and sharing web sites.  It has an iPhone and iPad app that I use to add sites to my tree, seen above and accessible here - www.PearlTrees.com/rhettdean. I have added and will continue to add sites I find valuable. It is a useful tool for anyone (teacher, speaker, corporate trainer, etc.) who is in the business of aggregating and sharing information on the web. I have used http://Delicious.com/pliblog for years to index content I find valuable.  However, Delicious doesn't do a good job of visually representing the information or of just showing the source web sites.  PearlTrees does.

Slide Show: "I Am" Team Bonding

I have a self-running slide show called "I Am" that works great for team bonding.  Instruct each team to sit close together with their team mates so they can chat softly.  Each slide contains the beginning of a sentence.  The goal of each team member is to finish the sentence to their team and explain why their answer.  Set the rule of only one person talking at a time.  This isn't conversation or asking follow-up questions time.  This is personal sharing time from one team member to the entire team.  Each slide will stay on the screen for two and a half minutes, so make sure you have twenty plus minutes to do this activity.  You will get a good amount of honest, open and authentic personal sharing and team bonding.

Website: Send to Dropbox

If you are a Dropbox user (and you should be), you probably have wished for the same thing I have wished, which is the ability to be able email files to your Dropbox.  The free service I have found and am currently using is Send to Dropbox.  It creates a unique email address that is linked to your Dropbox.  It is simple and seamless.  You email to your unique address and the document shows up in your new Attachments folder.  Perfect.

Website: Issuu.com

Issuu is an online document sharing and viewing tool.  It is a great place to publicly display PDFs, PowerPoints, etc.  It can also be used to share documents with a select group of people.  Registration and use are free.  Below is the link to my Issuu library with some leadership documents you will find useful.
