Brainstorming Technique

In the process of developing and perfecting oral communication, a fundamental strategy emerges: the brainstorming technique applied to the construction of speeches. This creative and effective tool has become an invaluable resource for the generation of ideas, concepts and topics that will later shape powerful presentations.
