\nBIG IDEA 1 (6:20) - Think before you speak. The book has a great concept of \u2018full spectrum thinking\u2019. It is about thinking with your left brain, the right brain, the positioning, how you\u2019re inspiring, informing, your key messages and that one big word you\u2019re trying to get across your audience
\n\xa0
\nIt\u2019s also about unpacking your genius - the idea about going big (exploring all your ideas) to go small (get specific on the action or change you want to see). Thinking across the spectrum by looking at old and new ideas or contemporary interpretations of the big word that you are getting across helps deepen the support for your ideas. It is also about thorough preparation of your thinking and having a point and being able to support it.
\n\xa0
\nThere are practical concepts in the book on how you can position your ideas based on how you structure them through thorough idea generation. One example is the idea of time capsule which helps create the format of your presentation. \xa0\xa0
\n\xa0
\nBIG IDEA 2 (8:39) - Find your style and connect. This idea is about being yourself and how to bring your very own personality to the stage. Sometimes this involves owning your weaknesses and flipping them to become a strength. One example would be if others see your being over-committed as a weakness, you can turn this into a strength by saying you are over committed because you are very enthusiastic. \xa0This enthusiasm then becomes part of your \u2018brand\u2019.
\n\xa0
\nFinding your style and connecting includes using stories to create the atmosphere and mood you want, to make your point and connect with the audience. \xa0
\n\xa0
\nFinally, when connecting it\u2019s important to think about your pre-preparation and your influences before you walk up to the stage to perform. What are you doing and how are you preparing to get into that zone? \xa0Are you in the right mindset to present? Your own feelings will often be quickly reflected back to you by the audience - good or bad!
