- Write about the future you want (Dave Rupert) — “Often people need you to show, not tell the alternative. You need to paint a picture. Not a full complete picture, but one where a person can paint themselves in it. When people want change and bad change is happening all around them, that’s a hopeless place. Build a raft of opportunity that people can latch onto in the rough open waters, instead of hitting them with spears.”
