DESCRIPTION

Lt Col Bill Kilgore was famous for his statement 'I love the smell or napalm in the morning'. Like him or loathe him, he had one laudable characteristic - a single minded focus on a victorious outcome, regardless of the cost. This theme is echoed today by one of the world's leading presentation designers, David Christensen, equally famous for his 'I live the smell of presentations in the morning.' But is this just coincidence, or could there be more to this connection ... ?
