Envisioning Possibilities
WISDOM
Wisdom and Big Wind Day share a common thread: they both make you go, “Whoa!” Wisdom is like that sage advice from your grandma that always seems to hit the nail on the head. It’s the culmination of life’s lessons, wrapped up in a neat package of insight and understanding. And then there’s Big Wind Day, a celebration of meteorologists who nailed a forecast predicting a major gust. It’s like Mother Nature saying, “Hold onto your hats, folks!” So, whether it’s the wisdom of knowing when to bring an umbrella or the excitement of watching trees do the tango on Big Wind Day, both remind us that knowledge is power – and sometimes, it’s just plain cool.
Cats are always full of wisdom for the most part quietly observing their surroundings. This windy cat made me laugh out loud. Nothing was going to move him/her. Standing or sitting her ground no matter what. Image by Thomas G of Pixabay
How Humor Can Lighten the Room
A smile can make your design pitch twice as memorable. Humor, when done right, isn’t about being a comedian it’s about being human. A little laughter reminds everyone that design is supposed to bring joy, not stress. So the next time you walk into a presentation, bring your sense of humor along with your fabric swatches. You’ll leave behind not only a beautiful concept but also a positive impression.
Creating Connection: The overlooked power of eye contact
Eye contact is the designer’s secret to presence. It’s what transforms a presentation from mechanical to magnetic. Slides may show your ideas, but your eyes show your confidence and that’s what clients and audiences remember most.
Why Every Designer Should Practice Their Speech
In design, presentation is persuasion. When you practice speaking as much as sketching, you build trust, authority, and excitement around your ideas. A polished pitch can make the difference between a “maybe” and a “let’s do it.” Remember your voice is part of your professional toolkit. Use it well, and let it sell your vision as powerfully as your designs do.

loved that pic of the windy cat – made me smile too.. and this post is simple yet profound wisdom
I love the reminder of a windy day, not that we have too many here, but we did recently. Just standing outside, with the wind in my face, was magic.
