Whether you are drafting a slide, designing a feed, or pitching an idea, we bring you several ideas that will help you in this issue of the newsletter.
In an age when communication tools multiply daily, the true art of connection lies not merely in what we say but in how we say it. Jerry Weissman reminds us
that metaphors and comparisons are not rhetorical flourishes but essential bridges—neural triggers that illuminate complexity and awaken engagement. Also, a conversation about the Social Media Canvas add-in with Jamie Garroch points to how tools are evolving to let creators frame ideas visually in social contexts. Meanwhile, the dialog at Presentation Summit 2025 engages Julie Terberg, Ilene Bergelson, and Chantal Bossé. |

| In Praise of Analogies |
| |
 |
| |
| Professional writers—fiction, non-fiction, journalists, even sportswriters—strive to find new and creative ways to add dimension to their writing. One of the most effective techniques at their disposal is to use an analogy or a comparison of seemingly unrelated subjects. As soon as readers see the connection between the two, they gain a better
understanding of the primary material. |

Every new technology disrupts: by Kanwal Rekhi
"Every new technology (AI) disrupts. The Internet disrupted publishing, music, retail, but it also creates opportunities. It’s (AI is) a power tool. It should be used wisely. I keep hearing they will take over the world. I understand programming. I don’t believe that will happen."
