Using a Tower of Babel to Present

Because nothing says "productive meeting" like trying to communicate with a room full of people who speak different languages.

Subtitle: Because your boss wants you to "break down barriers" and "build a bridge" and "make sure everyone understands" but actually just wants to confuse everyone and look important.

Step 1: Build the Tower

Start by building a tower that's just a giant stack of boxes with a bunch of words on each one. This represents the "common ground" you're trying to reach.

Step 2: Add Some More Boxes

Step 3: Add Some Even More Boxes

Step 4: Repeat Steps 1-3 Ad Nauseam

Just remember: the tower is not just a tower, it's a metaphor for your team's collective understanding of the project.

Or is it?
