Make very careful use of
visuals. For example, if you’re talking about the need to reconcile, don’t tell
us we all have a distinct vantage on an issue – just put a vase of flowers in
the room and ask us whose vantage is correct. We’ll get the message you want us
to get, and all the more firmly not because you told us but because we
“discovered” it on our own, as it were. And in a world overrun with technology
be really careful of an essay transferred to PowerPoint, and then the “speaker”
reads at us, one b o r i n g slide after the other. Leave Death By PowerPoint
to the amateurs.
