   Small Things in Conversation That Make a Difference
   Sometimes little things prevent leaders from being great leaders.For example, I had two conversations yesterday. In one, the other person showed interest in what I had to say. In the second, the other person cut off what I was saying with a curt, "I know that."Although the difference is minor, the impact is large. In the first case I was treated with respect, in the second I was not. In the first case I left feeling admiration for the other person, in the second, I left feeling resentment. In the first case, I would be willing to help the other person, in the second I would not.What does this have to do with leadership?Effective leaders attract people to them, to their ideas, and

   Creative Presentation Idea #1:
   Description: Do not use titles in your slides
   
   What for?

      Discover The Top 3 Reasons Why People Hate Their Jobs
      There are literally hundreds of reasons why people hate their jobs.How many can you think of?Today I interviewed a typical drone in the working collective and asked him a simple question."Bill, why do you hate your job?"He sighed deeply, his shoulders slouched, and with a quivering bottom lip he began to describe his typical day.“The alarm goes off late, or probably doesn’t go off at all. It’s still dark outside, and I don’t want to wake up my wife, so I scramble around and try to find my clothes. After dressing hurriedly, I grab my keys and head out the door. I work in the city, and get the train, so I rush to the station. I’m going to be late…again. I reach the station,

It seems that the “Inside Threat” is reduced to monitoring the known potential, the “Ticking Bomb”, while the unknown threats go unmonitored.

         What for?
         

         1. This would make your presentation “live” on the go. Instead of using slides, the sketches would visually convey the major points you are trying to get through. For example - when you talk about the tough task lying ahead, a simple drawing of mountaineers climbing up a steep mountain would etch that image in the viewers mind.
         2. A caricaturist could add a touch of humor to your presentation with funny images and hints

         
         

         
         

         Variations:
         

         1. If you have the talent – you could draw the sketches yourself as you speak.
         2. If there’s an electronic drawing pad – you could use it and show the drawings on a screen as they are drawn.
         3. Alternatively - ask some of the participants themselves to help you and draw those images on the flip chart as you speak.
         4. You could prepare and give the participants a comic book with the important things you talked about.
         
         

         
         Comments:
         

         • Make sure there are enough flip chart pages you could use, and that everyone can see them well.
         • Rehearse the presentation with the painter and the list the major subjects you are going to talk about so that s/he would have time to think about how to make meaningful and relevant drawings.
         • Here are a few pointers on where to find the person to draw for you: look for high school or college art students who wish to practice and demonstrate their talent for a small fee or free of charge; ask around for other employees that have that talent and are willing to give a hand. Of course, if the presentation is worth the investment, you may always hire a professional caricaturist.
