It's easier to write a long letter than a short letter.
It's easier to use a powerpoint template with bullet points than design a visual slide.
It's easier to use technical jargon than common language.

Is there a story you can tell?
Everyone likes a story.
If you've chosen it well.
With care.
It will be accepted.
And understood.
I recently spoke for 3 hours (broken up into a 45 minute formal talk, a case study and a discussion with a coffee break) on a legal topic.
Imagine the possible boredom.

I told stories relevant to my audience.
They asked questions.
The feedback was good.
I'll do it that way again.
