Do you know that one of the most powerful elements of your presentations is showcasing your own framework? Having your own framework differentiates you from others - you’re building your thought leadership and intellectual property. Having a framework is a tremendous asset for your business - you can use it for sales conversations, on your website and marketing materials, and of course for your presentations. A framework helps your audience to remember you and your content - it also helps you to remember your own content! This applies to lead generation presentations, thought leadership talks, and keynotes - and how you use a framework will depend on the type of talk you’re giving.   In this episode, you'll learn: What makes a good framework The process I use when I create new frameworks How I use frameworks in my presentations and webinars The steps you can take to start creating your own framework Tips on what *not* to do when creating your framework Lots of examples to guide and inspire you  Join our Thought Leader Academy to create your signature talk and framework: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/  This is the audio from a live training I did on Crowdcast.
