When I ask my clients, “How long is your presentation?” it scares me when they answer, “Twelve slides.” Even worse is when I ask, “How do you design your presentation?” and they respond, “We get the slide deck.” Let’s be clear: PowerPoint is a very valuable tool, not a presentation. If you start with your slides, you’re putting the cart before the horse and sabotaging what could be a compelling and successful message. [embedded content] Design First. Slides Later. Presentation design is a creative, strategic process. Begin with your outline. What is your key message? What action do you want your audience to take? What stories will make your ideas come alive? Complete this on a flip chart, whiteboard, or legal pad. Once your content is organized and structured, then—and only then—ask yourself: “How can I visually support what I’m saying?” That’s when PowerPoint becomes powerful. Charts, graphs, images, and diagrams help illustrate and amplify your ideas. However, only if used w...

In the old days, before Donald Trump, prime ministers, presidents, and chancellors would go to the Oval Office, sit for photographs and make small talk, and then, behind closed doors, get to the real work. But with Donald Trump, things are very different. Going to the Oval Office has become sort of a test for politicians. I actually know presidents and heads of government who aren’t too keen on going there, precisely because Donald Trump can be unpredictable. You never know which version of him will show up: the charming, good-humored Donald Trump, or the confrontational, bad-tempered one. As a result, you must be prepared for both. And here’s the thing: for someone like Donald Trump, everything is personal. You need to adapt — with flattery and gifts. Visiting the Oval Office is fine, but learning how to play golf might be even better. There’s a positive side to all this, though. Trump doesn’t seem to really care all that much about the substance or details of policy, as long as ...

https://youtu.be/IeMg6OFYfU0 In a swath of Arizona desert that will soon be home to a multibillion-dollar semiconductor plant, Justin Azbill stood before thousands of construction workers and told the story of the day he almost took his life. Pressure had been building on Azbill for months at his job as safety director for a large Boston construction firm during the height of the pandemic. Sleep-deprived and overwhelmed, Azbill said he packed a lethal means to harm himself in his lunch sack.

Being productive at work. Keeping up with healthy habits and household chores. Communicating well with others. Almost everything we want to do requires a measure of self-control . Easier, more-satisfying-in-the-moment options are very tempting. We could put off writing that email, ditch the workout, ignore the laundry pile, snarl at our partner, and zone out by binge-watching the latest show. But if we choose those easier options too often, it can get in the way of our longer-term concerns. The term "self-control" has some unfortunate connotations. It conjures an image of someone who is rigid, buttoned-up, and no fun. It seems unpleasant and effortful. It feels forced. We might be able to get through a particular task with white-knuckled willpower, but that's not a sustainable strategy. Real self-control isn't about forcing ourselves to do something we don't want to do. It's about choosing to act in ways that fit our values and setting things up so we'...

Jan. 27, Georgetowner online                     ESSAY about birthright citizenship.                        645 words Executive Order Intends io Limit Birthright Citizenship, Not End It By Margaret Orchowski Please don’t panic or exaggerate the birthrights citizenship executive order. The much expected EO does not end birthright citizenship. It limits it. That does not take a constitutional amendment.  In fact it’s been changed by Congress and by a Supreme court decision several times in the past. Here's the first sentence of the 14 th  amendment:: “ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”  The definitive word in t...

We know that touch is effective in some forms of therapy, and now we're examining another form of touch that may be even more potent than we previously thought. Photo by Anabella villalba on Unsplash I've seen people, deep in thought, tapping their front teeth lightly with their fingertips, and I never gave it much thought. I also once had a doctoral student working on a dissertation about a type of therapy that involved tapping, and I always wondered how strong the research evidence was for it. Could a few gentle taps here and there help ease tension, aches, and pains? The science underlying Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping is robust, despite its unconventional nature. Evidence suggests that EFT tapping can be effective in addressing several issues. What are they? They range from anxiety and phobias to depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia, pain, and even athletic performance , according to a meta-analysis of 50 studies published in 20...

A good campaign message should be short and simple. But there is more to it. If you look at political campaign ads and other materials, they are often conceptually the same. “Look at how great I am,” the candidates all seem to be saying. I regularly notice this when I work in countries where I don’t understand the local language. By simply looking at the visuals and by listening to the voice over, I can feel that somebody is trying to sell me something. The entire point about message development is to focus on the voters and to tell them what’s in it for them. In every campaign, there is talk about slogans, issues and messages. Few campaigns communicate a message the way I learned it many years ago from my professor at the Graduate School of Political Management in Washington D.C., Dr. Ronald Faucheux: the message is a coherent reason and narrative why voters should vote for your side and not one of the other sides. In that sense, a good message is more than a slogan, yet less than a...

A great series once you get into it. (The first three seasons are a bore, however.) Please don’t go away mad. (Get the hell out of here.) You did well, just not in the top tier. (You were dead last.)

What does it really take to live beyond 100 with energy, clarity, and joy? In the insightful video “How to Live to Be 100+” , Dan Buettner dives into the habits of people who live in “Blue Zones”—regions of the world with the highest concentrations of centenarians. From their natural diets and built-in physical activity to strong social circles and a deep sense of purpose, these people aren’t just living long—they’re living well . Their longevity is rooted in lifestyle, not genetics. Rather than relying on quick fixes or extreme routines, these communities demonstrate that consistent, intentional choices are what add years—and life—to your life. Buettner’s findings show that purpose, connection, movement, and joy aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re the foundation of healthy aging. These aren’t distant ideals—they’re habits anyone can begin cultivating right now. Which of the Blue Zone habits could enhance your own longevity journey?  Are you living with purpose, connecting deeply...
