We’re here to help increase your chances of being selected for one of our 2022 TestBashes.
Helping with idea creation
Coming up with ideas can be tricky at times. I have found myself asking the question “What should I talk about” many times. One piece of advice I was given when I was starting out speaking was to talk to about anything that you have a “Bee in your bonnet about”. So basically, if you are passionate about something, share it!
Whilst that can be a good start, we have shared more detailed ideas around coming up with ideas last year for 99 Minute Workshops but the content is can be applied to anything whether it’s a talk or a workshop. So why not watch through this lesson of becoming a 99 Minute Workshop instructor and see if it helps spark any more ideas:
This video will also help you with today’s activity
Today’s activity - Expanding your list of ideas
Assuming you did yesterdays activity you should have a list of ideas to speak about (it’s if you haven’t, we’re going to do more now).
“Watch the video in this post and see if you can expand your list a bit further. Spend no more than 5 to 10 minutes and just see what you come up with. If there isn’t anything new, that’s ok you may have already found your perfect idea.”
