Effective communicators plan effectively, develop compelling messages and headlines, make it easy for their listeners to follow the narrative, and introduce a common enemy to build the drama.

Carmine Gallo in his book, The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs: How to Be Insanely Great in Front of Any Audience

I interviewed Carmine when this book was released–read the interview here: An Interview with Carmine Gallo
