3 Ways to Be a Better Brainstormer

When was the last time you brainstormed?
Was it over a group assignment in high school? Maybe over a particularly challenging DIY project? Or was it this week, at work?

Brainstorming is a tried-and-true way many managers encourage their employees to generate ideas.

The conference experience greatly improves for all stakeholders when they are built around people and their relationships.

Traditional Conference Experience

Lectures have limits when used for education.

Lectures are a great way to share information. However they are not as effective as discussions for getting learners to think, develop attitudes or change behaviors.

Why Lectures?
In politics lectures are called speeches. In faith institutions lectures are called sermons. In colleges and universities lectures are called teaching. Most conferences begin with a cornerstone lecture often called a general session keynote.

Why tell stories in speeches?

Because they are interesting, they help people remember what you say, and they are a good way to convey information and emotion memorably.
