How to Find Your Big Idea

With Tamsen Webster

It isn’t often we have guests come back for a second visit but today’s guest is a special one! Tamsen Webster is here for her second conversation on The Speaker Lab.

On this edition of The Speaker Lab, we’re diving deep into how to find your “big idea” for your talks. Tamsen calls herself part idea whisperer, part message strategist, and part magpie. You’ll hear why when you tune in to this episode of The Speaker Lab!
