About the video: Structuring Your Talk
Overview
“I teach you how to decide on the best structure for your talk, keeping in mind that while Cicero's structure helps organize thoughts logically, the final structure should align with your objective. Depending on whether the goal is inspiration, action, education, or belief, you will explore different structures: using storytelling for inspiration, a fact-and-story approach for education like Ngozi Adichie, a step-by-step method for educational talks like Anil Seth's, or a hook and subvert strategy for belief or action talks.
