I find that a really useful technique to find this balance is the use of stories - not cheesey ones that we have all heard before, but real ones from your own experience. My own specialism is <a href="http://www.cultureship.com" rel="nofollow">corporate culture</a>, which can sound as dry as dust - but through all the blogs I produce on a number of sites, I try to animate the messages with real tales from the public and private sector, large organizations and tiny ones. Draw messages and conclusions from your stories but never be afraid to tell them in some detail. It always sounds natural because, remember, this is how real conversations about real life proceed - you offer me a story and I offer you a story back from my own life; it is how conversations, trust and friendship develops - and all these things are what makes for great business relationships.
