Once you've formed a collection of ideas, the Presentation phase begins. This phase only
has one step: initiation. This is where the idea is pitched to the team. Choose a single idea
and focus on that so it may be presented in a clear way that highlights the core of the idea in
an understandable way. Speaking with intention can help your presentation convey your
desired idea with clarity. It’s also important to present an idea with confidence if you want the
idea to be taken seriously. The more silly or out of the box the idea is, the more confident the
presentation should be.
EXAMPLE:
Me: My son is going to be a great oboe player. He doesn't even put his instrument down when he's eating. He'll be the first musician to play an entire concert while eating a five course meal
using his instrument.
The next phase, Support, involves the whole team. In this phase the team is actively listening
to the presentation, framing the core message of the idea with supporting statements or
questions so that it’s clearly understood, and then building on that idea in an effort to heighten
and explore associated ideas derived from the original presentation.
EXAMPLE:
Team Member: Your son's ability to eat and play his instrument at the same time is affecting the other musicians. Our bagpipe player filled his bagpipes with stew in an attempt to be more like your son and nearly choked to death!
