Give your ideas power

EmailLinkedInShare

Yesterday I shared examples of some interesting ways to visually present complex ideas or concepts. When presenting or sharing your ideas with others it’s often necessary to give a speech or presentation at the same time. Having a great idea is the first step, but getting others to understand and appreciate it is when the ideas really gets its power.

I don’t know about you but giving a presentation is not everyone’s favourite activity. I’ve done a few and with enough time for preparation and practice I do get kick out of it. Here is a great little video (4 minutes) from Francisco Dao for INC.com that give some really great tips on giving the best presentation you can. I also subscribe to Lisa B Marshall’s The Public Speaker Quick and Dirty Tips podcast through iTunes. This is a great resource and Lisa offers really good practical advice.

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 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.
