So you’ve got a great idea! Now you need to share it with others to give it real life and power. This might mean a speech or presentation to your Peers, a Manager, or an Investor.

How do you take your ideas and transfer your passion and enthusisum in such a way that it is understood and shared by others?

A two part podcast by Lisa B Marshall, the Public Speaker (Quick and Dirty Tips) gives a great “starting with a blank sheet” technique for preparing a speech. While your presentation will not be a speech as described in these podcasts, the process that Lisa describes could easily be adapted and is a great starting point. During the Podcast Lisa covers the following points:

1. Step One - Brainstorm Descriptive Adjectives
2. Step Two - Defining Your Descriptive Adjectives
3. Step Three – Telling Your Stories
4. Step Four – Fleshing Out Your Stories
5. Step Five – Pulling It All Together

Listen to Lisa B Marshall’s Quick and Dirty Tips Public Speaker’s Speech Making Podcasts Part 1 and Part 2  (these will open in separate windows.)

Now - go share your ideas with the world.
