TJ WALKER - THE HABIT INFLUENCER - Personal Development | LIVE STREAM

So you've thought about what it is you want your audience to do. That's great. Now it's time to brainstorm on ideas. I don't recommend that you sort of sit down at your word processor and just start typing the speech from beginning to end, or sitting down in front of a PowerPoint or Keynote software program and reading all your slides. That is the wrong way to start this process. Instead, I. I would recommend go into a brainstorm mode and just toss out every possible idea, thought, message, bullet point number, data point that you can think of that relates to this topic. Always be thinking about the outcome that you want from your audience. What will motivate them to take that outcome to do what you want. But for right now, don't try to create a perfect speech in one draft. In fact, don't even try to draft a speech. My recommendation? Go into a brainstorming mode. Toss out ideas, write them down. Could be on a piece of paper, the proverbial envelope could be your computer screen, notes section, or notes on your smartphone. But just down the ideas. Don't worry about things sounding pretty. Don't worry about full sentences, for goodness sake. Don't worry about transitions. Just isolate all the ideas. Don't limit yourself. You may come up with 20, 50, 100, 1000. There's no problem at this stage of your presentation, your speech development of having too much. So please do that every time you give a speech. I'll tell you next week what you should do with it afterwards.
