For some of you, school is already underway again; here it starts one week from today. Somehow, the return to classes cranks a lot of other activities into motion. I think that's why I'm getting more requests for help with presentations these days. Ironically, the explosion in communication channels only makes the formal, face-to-face communication event even more critical than it was. There's more pressure to get the message across and connect during that half-hour presentation or interview.
