Brainstorming made easy

Fellow speaker,

Here is an easy way to brainstorm ideas for your next speech:

1. Write each possible idea down on index card, sticky note, or spreadsheet (consider your own expertise as well as audience interests)
2. Arrange your notes on a wall or large chart and start organizing them in logical order
3. Don’t edit them yet – find or create subpoints to your main ideas
4. Start eliminating the rest of the points which are not main points or subpoints – end up with between 2 and 5 main ideas

Storming the brain,

Tim
