Dec 4

There are communication principles that go beyond the sophomore English class “qualification” that many people with red pens bring to editing. Yep, there’s more to know, folks, than subject-verb-predicate construction. The same goes for designing PowerPoint presentations.

  • Create a concept.
  • Communicate, don’t decorate.
  • If you can do it with less, then do it.
