OK. You've let the slideshow roll a few times. Cute, right?
Or is it more? Let's say for arguments sake it's a learning environment. What do you think is present or missing as an educational environment?
We look forward to your observations and our future conversations.

Why do stories follow the same general arc? Good characters, challenges, antagonists, accomplishments and future possibilities.
The truth of the matter is the only thing that really changes (or not) is us, what we hear. How we hear it. How we apply what we hear.
Huh?
Very simply it's not the external situation we see but our internal reaction that affects our impression of any story.

Test the idea. Compare

• One industry to another
  
• One time to another
• One situation to another

One technology compared...you get it. Any situation seems to prove the point - the only constant is...wait for it...the individual. Not all the people or things around the situation, near the action or in the thick of it. No, none of them.

Reality is - we are all that matters to us. How we improve our communication skills will most always have more impact on the outcome than any other story element - good characters, challenges, antagonists, accomplishment and future possibilities.

A simple lesson that never changes. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was...
