Breaking the Box
Breaking the Box focuses on strategic audience engagement.
Breaking the Box is particularly effective for people managing extensive data and technical information, lists, and strategically critical presentations. An engaged speaker brings you into the topic as an engaged thinker, not by loading information onto you. Breaking the Box teaches you to define your listener’s knowledge base systematically and to consider unique, yet critical, aspects of how the message affects their lives and create personal connection.
“Breaking the Box teaches you to define your listener…”
Speak to the technical, emotional, and day-to-day demands of your audience to gain maximum trust, interaction, and understanding.
- Use a methodical finding process that asks questions from several points of view, bringing your
context from an abstraction into a personable context. - Re-frame your concepts in natural language that is approachable.
- Find multiple layers of ‘what matters’ about the topic to your listeners.
- Edit the use of acronyms and technical information for relevance and appropriateness to the context
you established. - Load your data and statistics into a meaningful framework that stimulates ideas and engages your audience.
Connect with your audience by creating a context that genuinely matters to your audience, and inspires
with a meaningful call to action.
Breaking the Box is available as a module and as a workshop.
