Leave knowing how to overcome self-consciousness, turn passive presentations into active ones and use various vocal techniques to breathe life into any speech.
2. IDEA MAP℠ (Content Creation & Organization)
In order to create a memorable and repeatable message, it's important to outline your content in a clear and concise way. During this Idea Map℠ workshop, I'll share a system that I've developed that can be used to organize, shape, and distill any project you're currently working on. In the workshop, we will cover Bri's Map℠ which shows you how to organize your material (scientific research, project update, entrepreneurial pitch, etc) to create an engaging message. Using this outline you can develop a compelling narrative structure you can use in meetings, formal presentations, and conversations.
