MLK Speeches

I’m posting this a bit late, but one may find a set of significant speeches by Martin Luther King online, courtesy American Rhetoric. King has several speeches ranked by a group of scholars in the top 100 American Speeches:

• “I Have a Dream” (ranked #1, and you can watch the entire speech courtesy of a YouTube link)
• “A Time to Break Silence”
• “I Have Been to the Mountaintop,” the speech King delivered on 3 April 1968 in Memphis, TN, the evening before his assassination.

There is full text and audio for each. Well worth the time.

Avoid bullet point grunts and other PowerPoint advice

Today’s Wall Street Journal (registration may be required) features an article on the ills of PowerPoint presentations. Although we understand the allure of using PowerPoint, we counsel clients to avoid being seduced by the software’s charms. Some time ago, we posted a handy one-page document that is worth reviewing, because it provides a potent antidote to the PPT spell.
