What is Ignite!?
Ignite! is speaking for five minutes, with 20 slides. The slides move every 15 seconds, whether the speaker is ready or not. It is interesting, challenging and fun.
As a burgeoning speaker, you are learning more about the craft every day. Seeing how others do it and learning from them is part of your process, inside AND outside of a Toastmasters meeting.
Our own Michele O’Brien-Rose gave us an Ignite! speech at a recent meeting, and it was wonderful to hear about her own Ignite! experience.
Ignite! is Tuesday June 21st at:
Oriental Theatre
4335 West 44th Avenue
Denver, CO
Doors open 6pm, speaking starts 7pm
