As you prepare and structure your presentation, speak to both the challenges and aspirations of your audience. When you do, you will capture your own award.

When it’s your turn to speak, immerse yourself, and like any jazz musician, riff on a theme or deliver a colorful insight. And because you are in the moment, inspiration will come to you. Then your creativity can gain strength and drive the rest of your presentation. Your talk will capture the audience through innovation and your swinging style.
