Hello fellow Communications UG members:

I've uploaded a new presentation to our wiki [1]. I created it this week
for a Toastmasters project "The Goodwill Speech" that I presented today. I
got good feedback, but think the materials would be better delivered in a
10-15 minute time slot (I only had 7).
>From the manual (just for context):
"The purpose of a goodwill speech is to build the public's favorable
feeling toward you. This kind of speech is not a sales pitch or
heavy-handed attempt to persuade. Instead, you use your speech to perform a
service that is related to your business or cause. You provide audience
members with information helpful to them in their lives and hope that, in
turn, several of them will eventually buy your product."

I am sure there can be many improvements made to what I've developed so
far, so I encourage you to reuse and improve.
Some recent reflections led me to think that we need more materials that
position OSLC in today's general business context and explain why the
integration problem needs to be solved. Basically leaving OSLC, as the
answer, to the end instead of starting with it.

Thanks in advance for your comments and feedback.
