Will You Add? - Get Rid of Non-Creative Health Presentations! Next Time Try Using a Metaphor or Simile
Finding a recruiter that best matches your personality, professional needs, and profile can be difficult under the best of circumstances. The best time to find one is while you are employed. Locating one at this time allows you to be more particular. Building a relationship with your recruiter will take time and effort so it’s important to find the right person from the beginning. You might need to contact several recruiters before you find a good match. It is i
REMEMBER KEEP THE AUDIENCE IN MIND
As you already know, the simile or metaphor you choose to use will often differ depending upon your audience. I will discuss this in another article.

Think about popular advertising slogans that are similes, for example:
“Chevy like a rock”
“Winston tastes good like a cigarette should”
“A day without orange juice is like a day without sunshine”
CAN YOU COME UP WITH SOME SIMILE SLOGANS YOU CAN USE IN YOUR PRESENTATION?

What is the golden rule of internet advertising?Give, so you may receive.It is as simple as that.Most people desire to receive, but never give!You can increase your marketing exposure effortlessly by placing your ad on free stuff, then allow other people to give it away. The more people that give away your free stuff the more your ad will be seen.Most free stuff can be created easily and without little or no expense. Electr
metaphor -- n. figurative use of words in which a word or phrase is used to mean something other than what it usually means. For a presenter who scripts out his or her presentation, metaphors are as important as paint is for an artist.
When doing a presentation you can add creativity by using metaphors. For example; If I was talking about lead chips and pica behavior in young children I could say “lead chips are potato chips in the hands of young children with pica.”
Now let’s take this a little further. In the example of the potato chips you could actually take a bag of chips and open it in front of the audience and pour them into a bowl. You could joke and say it is hard to eat only one chip. You can further show the tiny chips in the bag and point to the relative size of small potato chips and the small size of lead chips that can poison our children. Wow! Can you see this working for you?
Take a few moments to think about how this can apply to your prevention topic.
A simile -- it's a lot like metaphor
Simile –n. a figure of speech that draws a comparison between two different things, especially a phrase containing the word “like” or “as,” for example, “as white as a sheet”
The main difference here is the use of the term “like a”. If I say in my presentation “Our children are often treated like a canary in a mine. Canaries were often placed in coal mines to ascertain if their were poisonous gases. Once the canary died then everyone was certain that gas was in the cave.
So often our children are like the canaries. They must get poisoned before we look for the source of the lead in our homes.
Now that is a simile that has been used often. You can use this method of speech to apply to other parts of your presentation. It will just take some thinking beyond the facts of your presentation to the creative uses of the language.
Or you may be doing another prevention topic like FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders). Some presenters use a common technique of cracking an egg and cooking it in alcohol during the time of their presentation. You could use the egg as a simile to a child’s brain. “A child’s brain is like this egg.
YOU CAN USE METAPHORS AND SIMILES TO CONNECT TO A PROP
In the case of the potato chip your prop is a bag of chips and a bowl. In the case of the canary you could have a plastic or rubber bird. So much will also depend on the size and availability of your prop. For example, if you want to use a large prop you would want to consider how you plan to get to the presentation and how much help you have. So, after you know what you want to say think about how you want to say it.

Answering emails has the same importance as answering telephone messages. Usually an email may more usefully be replied to with a phone call rather than another email (think about that)Emails need to be sorted into priorities;• “For your information” emails can be filed without answering.• “Requests for information and service” emails need to be addressed early, especially if from a customer (or manager).• General and persona

I have something to say that’s driving me batty. It’s regarding graduates who fuss about not getting a job they like or not getting a job at all for that matter. Blah blah di blah…Let me ask you something. Imagine a small town like ours with a limited number of companies, looking for limited vacancies to fill. There are thousands of graduates leaving universities each year hunting for a job too. How the heck would a pissed-off HR director filter out from
