If you’re a high-achiever, you’re always on the lookout for that edge to goal setting.Feel like your thoughts and ideas are all over the place? You got a thousand ideas of what to share in your keynote presentation, podcast interviews or videos. Whee do you begin and even better, where do you draw the line?In this episode, I’m discussing this study that was done on children at a playground with and without boundaries. The first time I heard about this study, I found it fascinating. The findings are a great example of human behavior and you know how I geek out on neuroscience.Check out what you’ll learn:The Playground study can be found here. How you can use boundaries to craft a presentation that gets you booked on repeat. Also, consider how these findings can be used in other areas of your life.Writing a keynote, crafting videos or communicating with confidence comes down to sharing the right information, not all the information.“Boundaries are not for other people, boundaries are for you. It is your job to enforce those boundaries.”*****Craft your Compelling, Captivating, and Converting speech.
