How Did I Come Up With This List?

Glad you asked! First of all it took exactly 26 minutes to get these 32 ideas for speeches. More importantly it was 26 chilled out, relaxed, enjoyable minutes. I didn't have to rush & at times ideas just flowed. Then I went to the Cafe in idea 32!

I started by just thinking of the first things that came into my head. My baby daughter, my guitar etc. Others came from ideas I've been thinking a bit about in recent weeks. Then I went to the local paper's web-site and browsed through the front page articles. I decided I'd get at least one topic from each story and I didn't care hether the topic was the same as the newspaper's angle. I found in some cases a totally unrelated idea appeared in the mind as I loked at the headline.

Another thing I noticed myself doing was glancing at my bookshelf. I only got a coule of ideas from there, but I realize that it's an almost infinite source of material for future speeches.

How Will You Use These Ideas For Speeches

You may find something on my list that inspires you. If so that's great. Let me know. Even better video yourself and send me a link.

I'm actually hoping though that you get inspired to come up with your own 32 ideas for presentations. That's one for each day of the longest month plus one bonus idea. It doesn't matter if it takes you longer than 26 minutes ... it probably won't be that much longer.

The important thing to remember is not to be afraid while you're doing it. Some people are afraid that no-one would be interested in 'that' topic, or afraid that they couldn't possibly talk about 'that' idea, etc, etc, etc.

I can promise you that how is far more important than what you talk about.
