2 Minute Talk Tips

  2 Minute Tip: Use a Call To Action   If you've ever left a meeting and wondered, "What now?" the speaker probably did not use a Call To Action. The Call To Action tells the audience what the speaker would like it to do. That could include things like:   Take concrete steps Consider some new ideas Implement a plan Develop a plan Change its mind ...and more.   As a speaker, you want to start with your Call To Action, and then build the rest of your presentation around it. This makes it easier for your audience to know what it should do and to act on your presentation.   Post Tip Discussion: Prepare for Losing a Laptop   In the Spring of 2017, the US began banning laptops and tablets from the passenger cabin of US bound flights on certain Middle Eastern airlines from certain Middle Eastern Airports.  According to Bloomberg, this ban could extend to all flights originating in Europe.
