I often break up my presentations with Inspirational quotes from visionary leaders of today and yesterday. In this presentation I share lots of them broken down against Creativity, Mobile, Tech, Experience, and Business. From Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and many more, through to some people you might not expect to see.

1. Inspirational Quotes
Compiled by David Skerrett @skegz

2. Why?
I personally am a fan of an inspirational quote
to make a point, tell a story, & break up a deck.
Having realised my fondness for an inspiring
quote I figured why not compile some of my
favourites into one place, and gather some new
ones - if you’re feeling like sharing.
