A while back I was sent a book, “Moving Mountains: Or the Art and Craft of Letting Others See Things Your Way,” by Henry M. Boettinger. It was from an old and trusted friend. I’d never heard of the book – but was in dire need of a door stop – so I flipped it over before taking advantage of my good fortune. I caught a glimpse of a familiar name, Drucker. That made me stop.The book had a rare testimonial from the legendary Peter Drucker.
“I’m greatly impressed with Henry Boettinger’s book. I think that it goes way beyond its title and is a first-class, highly original and highly practical, treatise both on how one thinks and how one presents thinking. I would consider it the first truly modern searching essay on rhetoric – in the classical meaning of the term – in the last three or four hundred years.” – Peter Drucker
MOVING MOUNTAINS
I read it. And it was. The book is all about ideas-manship. The planning, packaging and presenting of ideas. Great ideas can die on the boulevard of broken dreams without great presentations. Good presentations meld creation and performance into a symphonic unity. Great presentations – like Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar – do that and one other crucial thing. Do you know what it is?
“I have heard and watched practitioners in most areas of modern life in their attempts to persuade – lawyers, natural and social scientists, soldiers, civil servants, executives, physicians, engineers, foremen, politicians, mechanics, labor union leaders, shop stewards, artists, musicians, architects, philosophers, film makers, advertising men, accountants, college students, clubwomen, men of the cloth, sundry teachers, and lesser breeds without the law, to name a few. Some were eminent, most unknown. All were persons of intelligence, having something worthwhile to say, but the range of persuasive skill ran from embarrassing, painful failures (including cases of physical collapse) to skillful performers whose presentations were perfectly tuned to their audiences, and who made changing your mind an exhilarating experience.What makes the difference? Neither schooling, material, nor rank of this I’m sure. Whether the audience was one or a thousand, success invariably attended only those who both understood and presented their ideas from the viewpoint of the needs and characteristics of the persons in their audience.” – Henry M. Boettinger
Think back to events, presentations, stories, and speeches. What really determined their success or failure for you? The best? The worst?
I LOVE TO GIVE PRESENTATIONS — DON’T YOU?
I can only think of three things, off the top of my head, I’d rather do than give a presentation. Be boiled in oil, drawn and quartered or buried alive – or all three at one time. But I do appreciate the genius it takes to pull off a great presentation.
PRESENTATION CHECKLIST TOOL
If you could read only one book on how to give an effective presentation (for any occasion) – read this one. At the end of this article, are two checklists from the book that will help you give the best presentation possible and evaluate presentations of others. You need to read the book to fully understand all of it, but it’s a great resource document to forever change the way you think of business presentations … and the way you deliver them. Because …
EVERY PRESENTATION IS A STORY
Below are some stellar presentations. They’re also exceptional ideas, stories and dreams. They run the gamut of industries and topics. Some are about business. Some life. Some are funny, some sad. Tragic even. Some new, some old. Some are speeches, some no spoken words, just images. Some use PowerPoint, some PowerPoint-less. But all have one thing in common. One crucial thing. Can you tell what it is?

THE GREATEST PRESENTATION OF ALL-TIME?
My pick for the greatest presentation of all time has no video, no PowerPoint, no audio recording. Just a picture and 697 words. Words that not only changed a nation – but were spoken with an eloquent sophistication borne on the wings of simplicity, emanating from a god-like heart, and that now ring eternally, ethereally, through time and heaven.
Words that always make me wonder, did a man like this really ever walk the earth? Will another like him come? Ever again? Read. Just take the time to read it below. Put yourself back in time. Listen to the words. And when you come to this phrase,
“Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.”
Those last four words …
“And the war came.”
Has any more ever been said with less?
41 days later Abraham Lincoln was dead.
LINCOLN’S SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS
WASHINGTON D.C. , MARCH 4, 1865
“At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention, and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented.
The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured. On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it–all sought to avert it. While the inaugural [sic] address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war–seeking to dissole [sic] the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained.
Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes. “Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!” If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him?
Fondly do we hope–fervently do we pray–that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether”
With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan–to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.” – Abraham Lincoln

I had just finished reading “Great Beginning and Endings,” by Georgianne Ensign, when a Google alert popped up with an excerpt that caught my eye.
“Here it is. I’m dead. This is my last post.”
GREAT BEGINNING
I thought, what a great opening. The person had to be a writer. A superb writer. I was intrigued and wanted to see where it led. I opened the link.
THE STORY
I was right. It was a writer. Named Derek K. Miller. 41 years old. Married. Two kids, ages 11 and 13. And … he was dead.
A POST-MORTEM POST
Derek had written the post in advance and asked his family and friends to publish it – after he died from the punishing ravages of colon cancer. His post-mortem post was titled simply,“The Last Post.”
Life is strange. A Google alert on an ambiguous term led me to Derek’s last post, after reading “Great Beginnings and Endings.” His opening drew me in because I was studying the craft of story.
I didn’t know Derek. I do now. His life and work could be titled a “Great Beginning and Ending.” The ending of his story, though, reminded me of the last line of the last song the Beatles ever recorded which was;
“And, in the end, the love we take is equal to the love … we make.”
Read Derek Miller’s last post. To the end. You might not agree with some of the things he says. But the last line of the last post Derek ever wrote is one of the greatest endings ever written. You won’t be the same after … “The Last Post”
Forget the incessant cacophony about social-media use in business for one nanosecond. This post is about family, friends and loved ones. Find a way today to get them all connected to a social-media network of some type, because when disaster or terrorist attacks strike …
SOCIAL MEDIA MATTERS
Here’s why.
Several years ago my oldest son Kane worked in Galway, Ireland for a summer on a UN humanitarian law school project. When it was finished, he and a friend decided to visit Istanbul for a couple days on the way home. Being the ever-encouraging and positive father I am, I said,
“No. Are you nuts? You’re an American. Stay away. Did you look at a map? Did you happen to notice that Istanbul is not really on the way home from Ireland?”
Istanbul is not really on the way home
Being the ever-obedient son Kane is, he went anyway—with much panache I might add.
That same weekend as I was traveling with my youngest son Zack up the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway (a 17-mile trip up, then 18 miles down the mountain) with no access to any phones, stores or gas stations—a completely uncivilized ( heavenly) driving environment, I heard a beep coming from my son’s phone in the passenger seat.
“What’s that?”
I asked that question because a year earlier there was no cell service going over the mountain—a dead area.
“My Facebook phone alert.”
Facebook? In this isolated stretch of mountainous highway? Was there no peace to be had anywhere on earth anymore?
Zack looked at his phone.
“Dad, Kane says to tell you not to worry (he actually said “not to freak out” but Zack had edited it), he’s okay.”
Now, usually when someone says “not to worry, I’m okay,” that means there is a lot to worry about that you didn’t know you should have been worrying about until they told you not to worry about it.
My youngest son is a perceptive communicator and translator. He anticipated my reaction and quickly texted his oldest brother,
“Dad wants to know what the %$^$%& you mean.”
“There was a terrorist attack—an explosion, a bomb—near our hotel. Killed a lot of people. The hotel management was rounding up all Americans staying there and securing us in a room—for protection I guess.”
A MAALOX MOMENT
This is what is typically referred to as a “Maalox Moment.”
A “Maalox moment” is that involuntary tightening of the essence of your entire being that occurs right before an impending disaster—like when your car is out of control and you know you’re going to crash. Or, you look out the window and see an F-5 tornado headed your way. The list could go on and on. These type of events all invoke a “Maalox Moment” response. I’m sure it’s an intelligently designed, evolutionary, genetic trait. One that is instantly triggered, when your son texts you …
… “Don’t worry. I’m okay.”
We texted back and forth going up the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway until I felt he was safe.
Now think about that. In the middle of nowhere, instantaneous communications from the Smoky Mountains to and from Istanbul—surreal and unimaginable, even the year before.
From the Smoky Mountains to Istanbul
I turned the radio on. The national news networks had no coverage of it. In fact, it was three to four hours later before it was reported in the United States.
ANOTHER MAALOX MOMENT
Then there was another beep on Zack’s phone..
“Dad, Kane says to tell you he’s alright—again. There was another explosion.”
The evil and efficient minds of most terrorists know they maximize death, destruction and psychological impact if there are two blasts—one to attract attention, then another one, usually bigger and several minutes later, to kill the emergency responders. Emergency responders—the brave-hearted people who respond to dangerous situations all over the world every day.
Long story short, the hotel staff was great, took care of the boys, and they were on a plane out of the country two tense days later.
FAST-FORWARD: MARCH 11, 2011 – EARTHQUAKE
My youngest son Zack is now overseas teaching English.
He’s been there two years.
Zack Kayser (If you can't guess.. he's the red Samurai)
In Handa (半田市, Handa-shi) in the 愛知県, Aichi-ken prefecture, Japan, which is south of Tokyo.
About 6 a.m. on March 11, a Friday morning, I started getting beeps, pings, e-mails, Facebook messages and Tweets about an 8.9-magnitude Japanese earthquake. It startled me awake.
“Had I heard from Zack? Was he okay?”
I hadn’t—either about the earthquake or from Zack.
I tried to call, but couldn’t get through. The phone system didn’t work. The underseas communications cables had been cut by the tsunami and the telecommunications network had been severely damaged. I e-mailed him. Nothing. No response. Nothing to do but wait.This went on for hours.
No response to anything.
Silence. Then …
FACEBOOK’ED AGAIN
I get a Facebook message from Zack.
He’d been on the train to work. It shook severely and was scary, but he was okay. He said there were fires, quakes and tsunami warnings—things you don’t experience every day in Cincinnati.
Zack went on, through Facebook instant message, to describe what was happening, including the aftershocks every 20 minutes that were between magnitudes 4.0 to 5.0. Yesterday (Sunday) he’d had a 6.3 aftershock that picked his bed up, so he fled to the uncertain safety of the bathtub to ride it out. The bathtub is now his best non-human friend. Not so much as a kid though, if memory and olfactory senses recall correctly.
Then last night, Sunday (Monday morning for him), we video-Skyped. I saw his face, his smile, heard his voice—could almost reach out and touch him and I knew he really was alright.
When nothing else worked, social media and social-media networks did. How? I don’t know. Don’t care either. It just did.
Do yourself, your family, friends and loved ones a big favor. Connect them to a social-media network.
UseTwitter. Twitter has been especially proactive during the Japan earthquake, posting a page of tools and tips on how to use Twitter to get information and to communicate broadly to family, friends and others.
Use Google, though not a social network per se, it has a great Crisis Response Page with tools and critical information. It also displays real-time updates from Twitter via their real-time search function.
Use any social network you can that will help you stay connected during emergencies. It really is …
SOCIAL MEDIA THAT MATTERS
In disasters and terrorist attacks, I have learned this lesson twice: When nothing else works, social media does.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
– From “For the Fallen” by Laurence Binyon
A MEMORY BOUQUET
At the end of each year, major media outlets run feature stories listing notables and celebrities that have passed away during the year; stories that recount highlights of the person’s life. This year’s list was long. Really long. And special. These people really were notable, but weren’t celebrities. They weren’t sports “heroes.” They weren’t movie stars.
They were infinitely more.
THROUGH THE DARK RECESSES
Sometimes memories connect through space and time linked to your own remembrances of the person. Memories of what you were doing at a certain time in your life, at a certain place.
OF TIME
Special memories randomly emerge from the dark recesses of time. You feel heaviness, a sense of loss, not only for the “notable person” or “celebrity” that you probably never met, but also for yourself. For the loss of time.
That time.
Your time.
A time that will never be again.
THE LIST
Well, here’s my feature story.
My list.
It’s a little bit longer than the major media outlets would publish. Names of real people like Adam, Aracely, Buddy, Chad, Barbara, Dakota, Derek, Faith, Devon, Christopher, Garrett, Christian, Conrado, Javier, Joshua, Colton, Gwendolyn, Tramiane, James, Justin, Jose, Jonathan, Jorge, David, Timothy, Daniel, Raphael, Florence, Matthew, Pedro, Nelson, Stephen, Lance, Raul, Tyler, Willie, Stacy, Rosyln …
THE LOVED AND LOST
… and on … and on … and horribly on.
Fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, wives, husbands, cousins, nephews, nieces, all.
NOT BY ACCIDENT
They passed on not by accident, not by bodily deterioration brought on by the mean ravages of time, but because they had a special job.
A job that ended a too-brief sojourn on this blue-green magical wonder called earth.
A job they chose.
SO COSTLY A SACRIFICE
They were American soldiers.
A step ahead.
A step behind.
A look left, instead of right.
Right, instead of left.
Up instead of down.
Down instead of up.
A blink of the eye at the wrong time.
And … it was over.
WHAT IS LIFE?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
– Crowfoot, Native American Blackfoot warrior and orator
The fleeting flash of a firefly in the night … gone.
But not.
THEIR EFFULGENT LIGHT …
… echoes eternally throughout the music of the spheres like heavenly bagpipes playing Amazing Grace … across the unfathomable unknowable on their way to The Last Post.

When the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution was penned during the summer of 1787 oligarchic tyranny was the norm. Despots. Tyrants. Evil, socio-pathic bastards sick with power ruled the lands. Just the way it was. You were either in — or out. Up or down. During that summer the fundamental holy essence and guiding principles of what it would be like to be an “American” were memorialized in those immortal words.

A DUTY
To honor the fallen, the loved and lost, with their lifeblood splattered on the altar of liberty — a respectful duty remains.
ETERNAL VIGILANCE
To be forever vigilant against any that would usurp and suck the lifeblood out of our unalienable right to “the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.”
To all veterans past, present and future on this 11th day of November, 2010, an …
