Really enjoyed this book and I think the visual storytelling will be a valuable way to structure my presentations. However, as a committed "bullet point" person, this procedure is going to take me awhile to learn. I feel like I am going to have to go through the book multiple times while I am working on a presentation until it becomes more natural. Since I borrowed it from the library I resisted the urge to make notes and highlight - but I may have to just get my own copy.
