@GanbaroDigital Concept Structure 1. What is the problem / pain? 2. What will I cover in the talk? 3. What will change after seeing the talk?

Slide 47

Slide 47 text

@GanbaroDigital How do you go about writing a talk? How do you go about learning to write a talk? What are the skills involved? What's the process from taking an urge to say something all the way through to giving the talk to an audience? What happens afterwards?

Slide 53 text

@GanbaroDigital Treat the concept as immutable. Unless you can’t write that talk when you sit down to try.
