The Sound of Silence

The Sound of Silence

In an effort to convey research results a little differently, I created the following 'short story', to be performed in silence, at the HRS Graduate Research Day at The University of Western Ontario on February 9th.  I thought it would be neat, and symbolic, to deliver a silent talk on the topic of "Silence" in team communication research. I thought the talk went well, and I learned two things: 1) It's hard to create slides that say it all, without verbal transition material spoken within and between them, and 2) It's a bit nerve-wracking to present a talk and stay perfectly silent while it unfolds. What do you think of a silent presentation? I look forward to hearing your comments.
