To communicate well, talk in pictures.

When we communicate, we give facts and figures.

We tell people this, that, and the other.

We stand before them, earnest and dry, and give our opinions.

We lean forward, elbows on the table, and tell them our wisdom, straight-faced, and it goes over their heads.

Their eyes glaze over, and they’re focusing on other things.

To communicate better, animate your words with pictures.

Create movement and dynamic, create personality, and make it personable.

This way you take your ideas from black-and-white to full color.
