Amen...BTW, you might check out Cliff Atkinson's blog @: http://www.beyondbullets.com/ He wrote the book "Beyond Bullets" and has some good points...just not "bullet points."

Excelent source!! Everyone should check this out.

There's a whole bunch of "How to present for your audience instead of at them" resources out there, and Beyond Bullet Points is one of my favourites too. Also worth a look, as a presentation done right, is Dick Hardt's "Identity 2.0", helped by the fact that it's actually an interesting concept too - http://identity20.com/media/OSCON2005/

Well said, David. A story well told, is a story easily retold. And how can we persuade an action, if the receiver doesn't understand the sender's message? Onward storytellers!
