Happy new year, present well

Hoping this post finds you well, and that you are looking forward to a new year.

For many of us in the modern working world, who are blessed with:

• Love of our family and friends
• Good health
• Freedom of expression and religion
• Lack of want or fear
  
• Steady employment
• Health insurance
• [insert the thing you’re thankful for here]

... the winter holidays bring some time off, and a chance to reflect on the past and consider the future. And so I ask you to reflect on the most important presentation that you made in 2009, and consider what you might change if you had a similar opportunity in 2010. What thing or things would you love to change, if you could? Would you:

• Research more?
• Prepare and practice more?
• Use less slides? Or more slides?
• Use more pictures and less words?
• Use real objects instead of pictures?
• Take the whole thing more and less seriously?
• Turn off the projector?
  
• Ask for help?

Whatever it may be, I hope 2010 brings better things for you and your loved ones.
