The Importance of the Burning Platform
Identifying a burning platform, or a hot problem, is crucial for speakers who want to engage their audience effectively. When speakers fail to address relevant issues, they risk creating content that no one wants to hear, making it difficult to get booked. A talk focused on a tangible problem allows for clarity in content creation and increases the likelihood of winning clients who see the value in the solutions being offered. By articulating a pressing issue, speakers can position themselves as experts, make their message relatable, and stand out from the competition.
