Do you have a World
changing IDEA?
Ideas shape the future
But..
ONLY IF YOU SPREAD
THEM WELL
Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today…
Stories are more powerful today than ever. Why?
We are drowning in information. Good stories can cut through the noise.
People physically react to stories
They get moved by your idea !
Whom would you prefer listening to?
Both have a vision for India
But It should reach out to the
nation !!
Why is that some talks inspire..
While some just make you fall asleep?

Believes there is a secret structure behind these GREAT talks
First Know your audience
Western culture- Linear thinking
More of hope for future/What could be
Eastern/Asian culture-Spiral thinking
Mostly ‘What is/was’
Learn from mistakes/past
And then
Hit the audience
at the right spot..
Examples

A genuine excitement about his brand and his products.
Twitter-friendly headline:“Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone”
Perfect pitch and delivery.

Symbolic place to hold the speech
