Matthew MacLeod is looking for Mentor
Hi everyone!
I’ve recently joined The Portfolio Collective and I’m really enjoying it. It has some really nice features.
I’m looking to partner with a mentor on an exciting journey to innovate change. I am building an online platform alongside my studies in Entrepreneurship and some experienced guidance would go an incredibly long way. If anyone would be willing to offer advice then please connect and drop a message!:)

I love the slides with video that Laura uses for our course, and would like to create some coaching resources in this style – can anyone advise on how to do this, and is this feasible for someone like me with limited technical expertise (though willing to learn)

Our slides are created by the wonderful @jane.o.sullivan-uk – perhaps you could have a quick chat with her to get some tips!

Our video’s have been created by our super talented video and graphic designer Afonso Pereira. They do require skills in Adobe suite to be able to do the animated and layover production you see in our Catapult module videos.

Having chatted with the team, I realise you’d like to be able to record your slides with a video of you speaking over the slides. So that is much easier to do! You can do this via recording yourself on Zoom. So the basics are, you go into your Zoom’s personal room, present your slides, hit record to cloud, and then start presenting. Once finished, Zoom will send you a link to your recording where you can see it in various different versions – one of which is with your video in …

Caroline Marsh Damien you can check out Canva for slide templates and Loom for doing a recording to a slide deck with you as a video in the corner. Also Matteo Bisato will take a slide deck and make it look beautiful you for a modest cost and is my go-to person to do this for my personal projects (otherwise I spend too many hours myself fiddling when I’m better off having sales or client conversations)

100% agree with you Laura Thomas — I also believe great slides allow for a better learning experience, whilst helping your own content be more memorable. Caroline Marsh and Damien I would be extremely happy to help you with that with the experience I gained working with L&D companies, in London and abroad.

Thanks Matteo, that would be really helpful – perhaps we could set up a call to explore?
-
Of course Caroline Marsh , I would love that — should I DM you?
-
That would be great thanks

Thanks Laura,

Caroline Marsh have messaged you with some more detail of how we put together the videos 🙂 Damien will speak to the team and see if we can put together a guide to help with this. And yes I agree with Laura, definitely have a look at Canva as well, it has some really good customisable templates!

Great thread – this is on my list of to do’s together with how you host and manage this type of content Laura Thomas if you have tips on that too would be keen to understand.

Glenda Fox for hosting depends on what you want to do and if you’re at the point of a course etc. Main place is just on your website but then there are great platforms like Thinktific and Mighty Networks if you want to do courses or communities

Hi Roshana Arasaratnam Рthink it would be great for you to meet Selin Yigitbasi-Ducker who not only has created Goodsted, G̩raldine Zanaska РG̩raldine is a cultural project manager, and Hermeet Gill does amazing things within community projects which could also be of interest to you! Also on your Catapult cohort is Ayelet Mavor who is a cultural entrepreneur and angel investor! Have fun meeting!

I’ve started to listen to a lot more podcasts again, and I finally got to listen to Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead series last week. The episode with Simon Sinek is such a stand out for me – so I thought I’d share it here!
https://brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-simon-sinek-on-developing-an-infinite-mindset/
If anyone listens to this, let me know. I’ve of course now ordered more of Simon’s books because of this!
Thanks @jane.o.sullivan-uk for the inspiration to swap music for podcasts!
