In the past I have been plenty guilty of making some of the "what not to do" examples. Not the worst, by far, but enough so that I felt guilty when I saw them. (Slide 36 in this classic presentation, at least, made me feel better.  I never did anything THAT horrible.)

Now I am trying to improve.  If you compare my slides this year and last from the Rochester Security Summit, I hope you will see I am making progress.

This is important.  If we want our message to land, the passion has to show up.  6x6 bullets don't show anything.
