Business communication often sucks. “There is an endless deluge of data, facts, and figures”, say Ben and Kelly Decker. As a result of information overload, people are thirsting for inspiration. They want to be part of something greater. Every person in the audience is thinking: “What can you do for me? How does this relate to me?” And therein lies the great opportunity to influence them. However, many presenters miss out on it.
