In Part II I addressed the use of Clichés. In Part III I addressed the use of Metaphors and Similes In this last part of this four part series I will be addressing imagery. Imagery is the use of vivid or figurative language to represent objects, actions, or ideas. In my seminars I use imagery to tell a story. Imagery is a wonderful technique to help you convey your message and help individuals "picture" abstract concepts. Also, I use imagery to help clients have more self-confidence and self-esteem when they are preparing to speak in front of a group pf people. When I use imagery in my presentations I use three objects related to my topic and describe each. For example, let's say your topic is job hunting and you decided to use imagery to discuss the job interview process and three types of job candidates. Here are three images you might choose to use to describe these candidates: - OVERKILL. The individual who arrives at the job interview wearing an extremely expensive suit, with his hair slicked back, and carrying an attaché' case, laptop, and cell phone. - PROFESSIONAL. The individual who arrives at the interview 10 minutes early wearing a clean, well-pressed, fashionable but conservative suit, with her hair neatly swept off her face, and carrying a slim portfolio and small purse. - LAID BACK. The individual who strolls into the interview fifteen minutes late wearing wrinkled pants and an untucked, collarless shirt, with his hair unkept, scraggly facial hair, and holding a dog-eared resume in his hand.
