Handmade Slides: Pushpins for PowerPoint -- 01

These "pushpin" graphics are already placed in PowerPoint slides -- just copy them and paste within your slides to create
a look that makes a picture, shape, or anything else appear as if it has been pushed onto a surface, board, or wall with
a pin!
These ready-made pushpins are already within PowerPoint slides -- and have been provided in five colors. Just copy them
and paste them on your slides. All these pushpins can be rotated and resized, as required. Since they are essentially
pictures, all types of edits that you can do with pictures work with them too!
Download and use these pushpins in your slides.
Handmade Slides: Frame Corners for PowerPoint -- 05

These frame corners are all included as graphics that you can copy from within the PowerPoint presentation
that you download. Use these frame corners in your presentation and make your pictures stand out. You will
find these frame corners in both black and white colors, and also filled with some solid colors, textures
and gradients.
Just copy and paste them as individual frame corners over your inserted pictures (or other
slide objects). Place the first frame corner on the top-left corner of your picture and resize as required.
For the remaining three corners, duplicate this frame corner, and place the duplicates on the other three
corners, and rotate them as required.
Download and use these frame corners in your slides.

What is Your Body Language Saying About You?
 Your body language, nonverbal cues, tell a lot about
how you perform at a job, career and on stage as a public speaker. Research suggests that nonverbal cues are more important
than verbal ones. I came across one study that spoke about body language comprising 55% of the force of any response, whereas
the verbal content only provides 7%, and "paralanguage," or the intonation, pauses and sighs given when answering or speaking,
represents 38% of the emphasis. Our schools put more emphasis on the spoken word. I suggest you learn to use a few simple
tips to accentuate your body language as a public speaker or even interview for a job.
