The Art of Idea Midwifery

No offense to anyone, because I love all y'all, but I feel like I see all of the same faces (myself included) speaking at conferences nowadays. The truth of the matter is that, even though I love hearing people that I know and love talk, we would all benefit as an industry with some new faces and stories. Because of that, I've decided to start my new adventure as a midwife...of ideas.

Alright, alright. So, it sounds messy, but it's not so far from what I've already been doing. Here's the lowdown:

  • Have you ever wanted to speak at a conference, but you aren't sure what you'd talk about?
  • Do you have an experience or story that when you talk to people about it they say "Wow" or "Oh my gosh?"
  • Do you have some ideas brewing but just aren't sure how to put them into talk format?

Let me help you!

I'm currently opening some slots in my calendar for idea midwifery. Allow me to help you bring your beautiful idea and proposal for a talk into the world of conferences. I'm here to help you tease out something to talk about, develop already existing ideas, and get your proposal as polished as possible for its upcoming submission to SupConf.

After, if your proposal is accepted, I'm happy to work in tandem with you in the Talk Development program to get you feeling confident and fabulous up on stage. Your content and you will shine!
