What grind my gears – experts

Another in the series where I have a moan and rant about things that annoy me. This time, expert advice. (Yes, I do understand the irony that people call me an expert and yes, I probably do/have done this in the past.) The ‘simple ways to…’ articles. If you’re writing these, you’re not an expert.… Read More What grind my gears – experts

What grinds my gears – webinars

The other day I saw this tweet from Jeff Wren: So here’s another in the series where I vent. Attendees – they’re not an audience for your presentation, so don’t teat them as passive observers.

What grinds my gears – stock photos

Another in the occasional series where I have a little moan. This one was prompted by looking at a presentation and it hit pretty much every one of these tropes. The smiles. Big beaming, white teeth. Everyone smiling at everyone. Someone help me please. 4 people sitting round a laptop, one of them pointing. It.… Read More What grinds my gears – stock photos
