Talk is Cheap: The Performance Imperative

Tuesday, December 10th at 8:30 a.m.

Our job on the platform is not to tell our audience how to think but rather to give them questions to think upon. Your value as a speaker rests in your ability to deliver actionable ideas through a combination of storytelling and performance. If you’re not painting vibrant mental pictures or slaughtering sacred cows, then you’ll quickly fade from memory. 

This keynote explores why you need to structure your message as a multi-sensory and self-critical experience. Only by challenging your own assumptions, can you evoke the emotional responses necessary to convert your talk from mere words to tangible truths.
