Writing a good talk is about connection. Connecting ideas, connecting causes and effects, connecting to the people with whom you are speaking. One of the first things you notice when you are looking through the binders of talks that Dan Leahy prepared is that he always offered gratitude. He thanked the group and the people who invited him to speak. He thanked the people there for the opportunity to stop and think. Dan’s talks were full of historical and political connections that help us all stop and think. His best talks were also full of heart and show his love for working people.
