7 Secrets to a Killer Team Presentation I sit through a lot of presentations. These range from companies pitching me to portfolio companies presenting at board meetings. Each of these scenarios has a team presenting: almost always the CEO plus members of his or her management team, including tech, marketing, sales and/or product. Some CEOs are masters at communicating when team members are present. Investors love teams. So part of seeing you with a team is to get a read on team dynamics -- and, believe me, all VCs discuss the team dynamics after you leave. Here are some guidelines for you, particularly for VC pitch meetings. 1. My golden rule is that if somebody on your team is attending the meeting, they need to talk. 2. The best way to involve your team members is to assign out slides they will own. 3. I know there will be times you don’t agree with how somebody answered a question. 4. Remember that more than 90% of all communications are non-verbal. 5. 6. Any question a VC asks you is fair play. 7. Teams matter.

The release of Google Glass today is a popular case in point. Google’s glasses are a form of wearable computing that locates a mini-projector in the wearer’s peripheral vision. People wearing Google Glass can see real-time data from the web including the names of objects, mapping directions, contact information and recent social media activity. However, Google Glass is just the tip of the iceberg.

7 Ways To Boost Your Cell Phone Battery Life [iPhone, Android & Other Smartphones] Are you a power-user or do you simply need a few quick tips on battery maintenance? It’s time to get a grip and take control of your power consumption. Below you will find power-saving tips to help squeeze as much juice out of your smartphone as possible. Discipline Your Display It’s no secret that your phone’s display is the largest drain on power that your device encounters. The brighter your screen, the more energy is required to power the backlight. Most models these days come with a light sensor that detects ambient lighting conditions and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly. The time it takes your backlight to time-out can also affect battery life, so to boost your cell phone battery life, try reducing this to no more than a minute (after all, it won’t take you a minute to read a small screen’s worth of text). Keep A Lid On Bluetooth & Wifi Unfortunately wireless technology is still not that efficient when it comes to power usage. Beware GPS & Location Requests Conclusion
I'm A CEO With A Paycheck Of $0--And You Should Join Me We're all aware how A-list actors such as George Clooney and Brad Pitt usually make about $20 million up front and then 10% of the back-end to appear in a new motion picture. But if a performer really believes in their ability to bring people into theaters, the smart ones take far less, sometimes even zero dollars for a role and instead upgrade their back-end compensation. That's the way it's gone for years, most famously perhaps with Jack Nicholson, who took $6 million instead of his usual $10 million salary to play The Joker in 1989's Batman and traded the difference for a bigger cut of DVD and merchandising revenues that eventually gave him a $60 million payday. Hollywood's elite is filled with actors who took massive pay cuts and instead gambled on future earnings. The way I see it, that same formula should apply to a CEO. I'm 31 years old and sold my first two online advertising businesses for nearly $350 million. Compare that to the greed you see on Wall Street.
