Reel in your audience: Use film clips, stories, cartoons, and quotes to add impact to presentations
Why is it that quotations, stories, cartoons, and film clips are so often woven into speeches or presentations that are so memorable and so powerful?

It frequently pushes us beyond our comfort zones. We're compelled to run faster and faster just to keep up. And there's no end in sight, no resting.
