Videos: Merlin Presenting & Interviewing (and Pitching)

Folks who are kind enough to ask me to speak at their company or event often enjoy showing their colleagues videos of my stuff to prep them for the visit. To make this a bit easier — as well as to introduce you to my speaking work, if we’ve never met — I’ve put together a few of my favorite videos of stuff I’ve been involved with. This includes my two most popular talks (“Inbox Zero” and my “Time & Attention” talk) as well as interviews from The Merlin Show, plus a recent, more light-hearted event from South by Southwest.

Drop a line today if you’d like to chat about me coming to speak with your group. There’s still time to book for Summer and beyond, so let’s talk.


1. ”Inbox Zero” Google Tech Talk

58 minute presentation at Google’s Mountain View campus; July 23, 2007
(original post)

It’s amazing to me that this little fellow has now been watched 213,000 times (I hope that’s counting partial views, otherwise that’s over 23 person-years of viewing time. yikes.)

I really like how this turned out, and it’s been very cool to hear how many people this has turned on to the idea of doing something more responsible with their email.
