I've Been Framed

One of the simplest, cheapest props out there is the simple picture frame. There are so many ways to use one in a presentation. Here are two ideas.

1. Communication Skills
When teaching people that their presentations need a beginning, a body and a conclusion I like to hold up a picture frame to illustrate this concept.

2. Inide the Frame
There is a saying, you can't see the picture if you are in the frame. Use a prop to illustrate this and then discuss how sometimes it is important to just step back to see the whole picture. When we are inside the frame, we are a little too close to the action to be neutral or to capture the big ideas.

So pick up a frame, hold it in your hands, and just see what ideas come to you.
