Dave Pollard discusses rhetoric and refers to the book, The Back of a Napkin. He gives five ways to improve presentations, pertinent for anyone trying to explain something: 1. Present new information, clearly and articulately. 2. Ask provocative questions. 3. Tell memorable stories. 4. Use visualizations to convey meaning. 5. Employ powerful rhetoric -- be clear, logical, clever, funny, well-paced, original, truthful, concise, provocative, and passionate. -HJ
