The book has a great concept of ‘full spectrum thinking’. It is about thinking with your left brain, the right brain, the positioning, how you’re inspiring, informing, your key messages and that one big word you’re trying to get across your audience   It’s 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.   There 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.      BIG 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.  This enthusiasm then becomes part of your ‘brand’.   Finding your style and connecting includes using stories to create the atmosphere and mood you want, to make your point and connect with the audience.     Finally, when connecting it’s 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?  Are you in the right mindset to present? Your own feelings will often be quickly reflected back to you by the audience - good or bad!   Click here to buy on The Book Depository   Music By: Sunshine - Instrumental Version By D.A.H.
