PLANNING YOUR SESSION
The ideal talk format would include:
- Introduction – Offer a few sentences about yourself. Keep it brief, people can read more details on your speaker page.Â
- Hook – Outline clear actionable outcomes of your session. Focus on practical tools, strategies and resources.Â
- Content – Your session should answer the questions:
- How do I…?
- When should I…?Â
- Why do I…?
- Next Steps – Point people to a download, resources, website etc. Focus on offering value, not self-promotion. No one enjoys a sales pitch. If you can offer value people will want more. Â
- Wrap-up – Tell people where to find you (i.e., socials, email, website).Â
** Talks should be a TED talk style around 15min. but no longer than 20 min. Â
RECORDING GUIDELINES
- To have a professional-looking video, please shoot in a space that is well lit. These videos will serve as a resource for thousands of people.
- Don’t shoot in 4k.
- Audio is best when you use a microphone (lapel, ear mic, hand-held) located close to you.
- If using a laptop, look directly into the camera, rather than the screen.

- Slides/PowerPoint presentations may be used at your discretion.Â
- Use neutral clothing and a background with no logos, words, promotional materials, etc. for ministries.
