We’ve seen these people. They’re all over the place. In some organizations, it’s institutionalized. What I’m concerned about is the laser pointer. Not everyone uses them, but I don’t see anyone standing up and pleading for these people with frickin’ lasers in their hands to stop.

All too often, when people are trying to do the right thing by creating a strong visual to represent an idea, they fall back on the literal meaning of the word. This This often makes it very difficult to find the right image to convey the idea and will often result in a visual that seems forced.
Take for example, the concept of the “Open Government Initiative.”

I'm preparing a guest post for another blog about how you go about finding your voice--for speakers in general and women in particular.

It's the speaker's quest, so help me understand what you mean when you say you're finding--or have found--your voice.

People often ask if technical or science-related presentations can be as compelling as presentations covering other less technical topics. Now, not every presentation has earth-shattering, Nobel-Prize winning significance, but I assume if you are talking about your research or current issues in your field, etc. that your words have a benefit for someone else.
