Alex Pitt posted in the group I'm looking for.. .
Hi everyone! I’m looking for connections…since launching my business I’ve found a new love for networking and coffee chats to find out what people are up to day-to-day in their business. Maybe its the part of me that misses the office environment (and chats by the water-cooler), but if you’d like a friendly hello over a virtual coffee give me a shout!

@Nicola and I had a virtual walk and talk meet up yesterday at lunchtime – worked a treat! – Nicola was in london and I in a park in Kent, the 30mins just flew by. Happy to repeat and make new friends
-
Hey Alex, I have been a lot of virtual networking recently and would be delighted to talk biz. Please feel free to book a slot here https://calendly.com/zarir-zed-vakil/60min with me. I would be very pleased to talk. But beware I might pick your brains again on my story which I have been trying out!

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

Something for the argument around the best way to charge clients.

Very interesting Niall Brady – definitely a question that comes up a lot in the community. We are hosting a fireside chat event on the topic of ”Knowing your worth” where I am sure this will be covered. Hope to see you there! https://share.hsforms.com/1XvFRHI8_TpaIjL7-4GBzKg4sm69

What a timely post! So looking forward to next week’s fireside, and I’ll make sure to include some of the points raised as questions for our panel!

*Monday reminder for all Catapult graduates!*
At 4pm today, you can join us for your weekly catch-up session!
We’re really looking forward to welcoming those from our fourth cohort who graduated from Catapult last week! There shall be lots of interesting discussions now doubt, and a great opportunity for you to network more widely within the community.
You don’t need to come with questions or thoughts prepared for these sessions. Previously we’ve found that hearing others talk through their plans can often spark an idea for your own portfolio career, and it’s always nice to see what others have been up to. This session is also a great place to set accountability for your goals.
Claire Moss and Lexi Radcliffe-Hart will be encouraging this today too – so look out for messages from them.
Do check out the info on our new Catapult Graduate Community Group – http://staging.the-portfolio-collective.com/collective/groups/catapult-graduate-community/ where t…
