<p>If you wonder why your wonderful ideas rarely get accepted, or are compromised beyond recognition in meeting after meeting, it might not be your creative design talents that are the problem. It’s your ability to frame, shape and pitch your ideas effectively to others.<br />
This fun, brutally honest, interactive talk, loosely based on the O’Reilly book ‘Confessions of a Public Speaker’, will give you everything you need to know to present, pitch, convince and sell your ideas so your world domination plans can begin.</p><br />
