Ideas for props and visual aids from BusinessBalls

I found a very useful web page from the English firm BusinessBalls Ltd. titled Visual Aids and Props Ideas. It lists and discusses almost 70 ideas for props, including the use of an oilcan for the role of facilitator:

“…The concept of lubricating and liberating, without actually becoming part of the machinery or structure, enabling people and teams to work better – enabling them to do it, not doing it for them.”

The cartoon was modified from a February 1, 1911 Puck magazine at the Library of Congess. An image of an oilcan by Wammes Waggel is from Wikimedia Commons.
