My work is showing professionals how to design, develop and deliver more effective messages.  This blog is my own take on the tools, techniques and resources that further that end. You’ll see commentary on high-profile speeches, observations on business and professional communication and the occasional presentation technology review. My approach is based on the system I explain in Rainmaking Presentations: How To Grow Your Business by Leveraging Your Expertise. You can download the first  chapter in either .pdf or mp3 here. It will be available in bookstores on March 17.

I’ll confess at the outset that I’m a “Macolyte,” having come over from the dark side almost 15 years ago at the urging of my  friend Sam Winch, a work colleague and photographer extroidinaire.

Therefore, most of the software reviews I write will be for the Mac OS X system. Most of the hardware reviews will be cross-platform.
