NOTE

Start Your Speech Prep By Asking What Feeling You Want To Create

A proactive approach is to use 'magic wand sessions,' where participants freely suggest ideas beginning with 'If I had a magic wand.'

Encouraging openness in brainstorming promotes creativity and innovation, allowing for a more enriching experience for both the speaker and the audience.
