Professional speaker Doug Kruger suggests you need to be an "iconic" speaker:
- Big game mentality – become better than your heroes
- Speak strong – be very opinionated and get to the point quickly and interestingly
- Ex-scenario thinking – go outside the audience’s point of reference and open them up to a whole new way of thinking
- Framework – create your own way of representing your information
- Constant producers – continually put information out into the world
