Great example. Thanks for sharing.

318 days is almost a year. That’s the kind of number that we can easily understand.

A very valid point.
But how many people do this.
We dont come across large numbers every day.
So when it comes one should latch out and explain in a way the audience relate.

I remember one such instance myself.
Reading your post made me remember it.
I was inspiring a group of 30 people to do a project.
Before my talk I had worked out my maths.
So I asked them, how big is the task the group has to do?

If 1 of you had to do it how many days will you take. Some said 7 some 30. The answer was 318. This number shocked them. Later I mentioned this many times and they could instantly realise what was the value of those 318 man days.

Moreover, I did not use any graphic. I just put up 318 in font 50/60 on the slide.
