Career guidance and a great presentation. Both extremely important for your career and business life, and Garr Reynolds (author of Presentation Zen) delivers them both in his latest blog post on Daniel H. Pink’s new book Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need. I haven’t actually read the book yet, but after reading Garr’s post I am buying the book today. I am also planning on getting Daniel Pink’s other book A Whole New Mind.

There isn’t a whole lot for me to say on the subject, as I think Garr Reynolds has summed it up great in his presentation. I will post a review on the book as soon as I have finished it. In the meantime. Please check out Garr’s presentation and the intro video to the book below.

Who inspires you? As I look back in my life, most of the things I have been proud of have in some way been inspired by someone else. Whether it’s childhood heroes or peers in the real world, one motivated person can have more impact than most people believe.

For instance, last year I was encouraged by a co-worker to go see a presentation. Garr Reynolds, the author of the book and site Presentation Zen gave a presentation on how to present. However, he did more than just teach how to present, he talked about how he was inspired to keep doing all the things he was doing. I was inspired.

In his latest blog he talks about inspiration and has some great videos on inspiration. Some videos and presentations created by Dr. Randy Pausch, a professor diagnosed with a terminal cancer. Your can find the full articles here.

We go through our whole lives caring about all the little things, and forget to enjoy life. We never take the time to appreciate the fact that we are alive. We take our health for granted and throw it away for money and possessions. Take some time to think about what’s really important and if you are giving it the attention it deserves. Your passion in whatever it is you do has the ability to inspire others.
