The Kindness of Strangers

A nice story that perfectly illustrates the new attitude towards sharing in the world of social media.

In preparing my presentation for IHRSA next week, I came across a wonderful powerpoint deck on a site called Slideshare. Positioned as the world’s largest presentation sharing community, the site has hundreds of wonderful presentations on a range of topics from Finance and Education to Health and Fashion. This presentation I found included lots of the facts and figures I planned to use, but displayed on beautifully designed slides.

I will admit that my initial instinct was 'wow - how can I steal this for my presentation it would save me hours'. I emailed the lady that had created the presentation to explain my situation and not only did she say she was happy for me to use the slides, but she emailed over her entire deck with notes too!

So a big thank you to Marta Z. Kagan and here are her details for anyone in the US looking for a talented and very kind social media specialist:
