You cannot switch teachers on and off as if they were PowerPoint presentations.
It is perhaps accurate. . . to describe the Daschle proposals as being 'Sex, Lies and No Videotape,'. . . We insisted on a complete search for the truth, on the ability for the Senate to decide whether or not video presentations of these witnesses will be permitted on the floor of the Senate.
I do a lot of public speaking and presentations and I'll always start with a self-deprecating joke to make everybody feel comfortable with my size because there can be hang-ups and anxieties.
I no longer give Power Point presentations, because I've come to believe that power corrupts, and Power Point corrupts absolutely.
I often think that presentations are more difficult than the work itself.
To me, presentations are the most powerful device. You can't really name a movement that didn't start with the spoken word.
What I have learned about museum buildings is that buildings have to have iconic presentations. The position of the art museum vis-a-vis other civic buildings needs to be hierarchal in the community. It has to be equal to the library and the courthouse.
There's a lot about being "A Writer" that has nothing to do with writing. That's one thing I've discovered.

I joined the army on my seventeenth birthday, full of the romance of war after having read a lot of World War I British poetry and having seen a lot of post-World War II films. I thought the romantic presentations of war influenced my joining and my presentation of war to my younger siblings.
Successful presentations are understandable, memorable, and emotional
Some of the commercial work I do is helping people to improve their presentations and add some design thinking. There are so many amazing things in science, and such great data, which can often be locked away. It's in the minds of these amazing practitioners, who can't necessarily express what they want in a visual way.
The Tarot embodies symbolical presentations of universal ideas, behind which lie all the implicits of the human mind, and it is in this sense that they contain secret doctrine, which is the realization by the few of truths embedded in the consciousness of all.
