GETTING STARTED

I

magine that you’ve received an invitation from the association

that represents the industry in which you work, inviting you to

virtually deliver a TedTalk on Leading the Self at their annual

passes, you realize that you have learned a great deal about this

topic recently. In fact, this won’t be difficult; it actually will be fun!

–

15 minute video, using 8

–

10 slides (use

presentation software such as PowerPoint or Prezi).
