354: Finding and Developing Your Big I.D.E.A. [Thought Leadership Series]

354: Finding and Developing Your Big I.D.E.A. [Thought Leadership Series]

Today’s episode it’s all about finding and developing your Big Idea for your thought leadership and public speaking.

Ideas are incredibly powerful; they can live on for years, centuries, even millennia. Ideas spark movements for political and social change. Ideas help us as humans understand ourselves, each other, and the world around us

Your idea doesn’t have to be something people have never heard of before; that’s unlikely as most things have been talked about before - and that’s ok!

As a speaker, you want to have something interesting and unique to talk about, you want to make a positive impact on your audience, and you want to develop your thought leadership

Perhaps you’re not sure what makes a good idea or which of your ideas is the best one. It all feels a bit messy and muddy.

That’s what I’m going to help you with in this episode! Think of me as your idea whisperer.

You’ll learn:

  • What a Big Idea is

  • Why too many speakers get stuck with superficial content

  • How to identify your I.D.E.A. using this handy acronym I came up with

  • Examples of Big Ideas from myself, from some of our clients, and from thought leaders you’ll recognize

  • Specific questions you can ask yourself to get started developing your Big Idea

This episode is part of our new podcast series on thought leadership.
