Things to remember when coming up with an idea
Your idea does not have to be original, your approach does.
You’re not Beyonce. And that’s ok.
Focused procrastination is key.
If you’re struggling, think of your idea in a different form.

Important tips on presenting your idea
You’re not just telling an idea, you’re selling it. Have conviction.
If it’s a heavy subject, keep it light.
If it’s a subject that’s been covered a lot, acknowledge that and offer a new twist.
Worried? Do a power pose a la Amy Cuddy.
