The Conversational Case: The Simplest Way to Craft Your Keynote's Core Message

You know getting your big idea out into the world means having to make the case for it. You need clients, meeting organizers and audiences to see your idea as the right one for them. But even though you know it’s the right message, how can you make them see that, too? Even more, how do you do that when time —and attention — is short? You script the story they’ll tell themselves. In this interactive session, join change communications expert and 20-year message strategist Tamsen Webster as she shows you how to do just that.

Bio: As a professional "Idea Whisperer," Tamsen helps people find, build, and tell the stories of their ideas. She combined 20 years in brand and message strategy with four years as a TEDx Executive Producer to create The Red Thread®, a simple way to change how people see...and what they do as a result. (Though as she'll tell you, everything she knows about people, speaking, and change, she learned at Weight Watchers). Today, Tamsen is a globe-hopping keynote speaker who consults with enterprise companies like Verizon, Johnson & Johnson, and State Street Bank on how to get their big ideas to have the impact they deserve.
