[Quick Tip] Does Your Idea have Enough I...

Sarah Archer: Speaker, Comedian, Author, Playwright and Coach
About this episode

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

That’s a famous and overused quote from Maya Angelou - that really applies to speakers. 

Because people won’t remember your name or the exact words you say, but they will remember how your message made them feel.

And that is what I want to talk to you about today.

In this show I’m covering:

  • What an idea with impact looks like.
  • The checklist for idea success.
  • What can get in the way of creating an idea that lingers.
  • Some tips to help you nail your idea.
  • Why it’s worth the effort to get there.

Enjoy!
