Mike Monteiro: 13 Ways Designers Screw Up Client Presentations

[@lonewolf333]

I'm not even a designer and I still love his presentations. His "F*ck you, pay me." video should be required viewing for all would-be entrepreneurs.

[@jainansankalia1026]

I can't stress how much I love this presentation. I watch it yearly. Here's to selling great design in 2020.

[@corgikun2579]

I watch it every month. I love it more than you

[@bradkoerner1]

Thoroughly enlightening. I've moved from design to product to marketing and so much of what Mike says applies to all professionals.

[@UrbanSophistic]

This presentation saved my a**. A gut-check at precisely the right moment, albeit, 3 am. My presentation this week has totally been reframed and I'm actually looking forward to getting with my team on board with the concept that came to me while watching this. No more real estate tour.

[@AndrewDoyle]

He sold me that website in that 6 second explanation/example. Fantastic. Keep it simple.

[@kacem3167]

2023 and still hits hard

[@Uzodesign]

Wow! That was powerful. I feel inspired. I really miss the design classroom, the critique, the group projects, the inspiration of classmates and professors, and the pressure that comes with it even though I hated it at the time. Thank you Mike Monteiro.

[@JoshuaEliGilley]

fantastic talk, I keep returning to it again and again whenever I get lost!

[@mmcallister6317]

This should be required viewing for all designers and creative directors. Excellent insights.

[@leesean]

Thanks again for the tough love Mike Monteiro!

[@oldcowbb]

dude is gonna start a cult with that charisma

[@sinlokemp]

Loving this guy and his knowledge!

[@fkylw]

Just bought that book. Great talk.

[@SoFlyIndustry]

can you tell me if its worth it. on amazon there is a lot of bad reviews. even though i know his views are controversial.

[@apolloapostolos5127]

SoFlyIndustry Public libraries might have it or take requests. Bookshops might have it or take requests 🤔🤷‍♂️🤔 Judging by the value in the talk, it’s a good bet that the book is also valuable.

[@perezfecto]

Monteiro nails it again.

[@JeromeBenhur]

this video ..... sold me the subscription button ;)....... awesome

[@DonavanBarraza]

this goes beyond

A lot of really good information. Thanks

[@ChadMaupin]

Great stuff as usual.

[@brendonodwyer]

Brilliant talk.

[@G2traff]

This fantastic.

[@ManuelCeballos]

How can I request an spanish caption for this video? It's a shame that there are no subbed videos of Monteiro on the web.

[@sokuntheahem1283]

Good presentation.

[@KelliTheNerd]

English captions would be a great addition!

[@eduardomoratinos5276]

Wonderful advices. For America.

[@Uzodesign]

I'm curious to know why did he disqualify the guys who got to the stage first?

[@RealJustJoe]

I think it was just to get a laugh etc. He really works the crowd. Love that style. You wouldn't want to go to this guys presentation and fall asleep in the first row haha

[@ZhengCheng]

only 360p？

[@great567]

Can't find his work anywhere online.

[@unabashedindividualist6232]

I can find no work that Mike Montiero has ever done, Nor can I find any work online that Mule design co has ever made. As best I can tell, Mike is just a liberal mouthpiece with an overblown ego and a false sense of self importance.

[@stephenjansevanrensburg5928]

So get up there and do a better job. Not? ok...

[@heyimamaker]

Check archive.org, I'm not sure when Mike transitioned to speaking ( looks like it was a few years ago ) but I assume that's his focus. Any agency that I have worked at always had an incredibly outdated site. Theretically if hes doing work for well known clients then none of that work would be relevent to even show. I had some work that won awards 8 years ago. I never show it to people. It might be a talking point during conversations but its irrelevent visually.

[@johanlindeberg7304]

What do you think? Do you like it?

[@DouglasHollingsworth1]

His 100% accurate observation about anti-vaxxers REAAAAALLY hits different 6 years later

[@oldcowbb]

the scary thing is if he says that now he will face a lot of criticisms

[@granolabob1]

PREACH IT

[@deanberlinerblau1538]

The last point is the most important. Good has nothing to do with subjectivity.

[@anthonymeszaros8816]

he said fuck

[@Gio.design]

omg call the police

[@bunniewood]

gah stop yelling at me mate

[@pootypooty]

He may be an excellent designer, but his design skills don't extend to communication. In the first *15 minutes* all I learned was that he thinks designers have been improperly educated (but doesn't say why); being able to sell your ideas is a core skills; and you need to attend client meetings. The rest of the time is YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG AND I'M CONDESCENDING AND HARANGUING BECAUSE I'M THE ALPHA IN THIS ROOM. I can't imagine working with or for such self-certainty.

[@drawnsequence]

What are you talking about? He has 13 bullet points and describes how each one is self-defeating before explaining the best way to tackle and counteract that self-defeat. Sounds like you dislike his personality enough to just not listen to the whole thing - I mean I don't even like the persona but I've learned a lot from this video.

[@unixtreme]

That's like your (wrong) opinion man.
