speech building bootcamp pre work
DESCRIPTION
This is a presentation I created to help students attending my 2 day speech building bootcamp. Obviously quite specific to that program. you might find the process useful though even if you are not attending the program.TRANSCRIPT
Our goal is...to create a a 30-60 minute speech in 48 hours or less...
Just as a reminder
step one: your key messagesWhat’s your one big idea?
Now list 12 ideas that sit under that one idea
we will probably use only 3-6 of them.
make sure they are each discrete ideas
step two: what problems are you fixing with this speech
list out the 3-6 problems your audience has that your speech will address.
unpack in your mind what is causing these problems
step three: buy an stock account
through the internet go to www.istockphoto.com and set up a ‘pay as you go’ account for 50 credits
step 4: prepare an answer to these three questions
why are you the one to deliver this speech
why is what you are talking about important to this audience
why is any of this important now
step 5: think about some stories
is there something that has happened in history that illustrates one of your points?
is there something thats happened personally that illustrates one of your points?
this is obviously just to get you thinking before your arrive so that we can get straight into it on the program...more to come...
email your work so far any slides, speech notes or thoughts you have had about the speech directly to me
