If you are speaking and writing regularly, then you will know that coming up with topics, ideas, speeches and scripts is really motivating, often inspiring and definitely challenging. We are inundated with news and information night and day and it’s fast, spinning and totally relentless. Yet, I hear from many people that they don’t know what to write about next. They hesitate to speak at the meeting, to their boss, to the event organiser because they don’t know what to say. So, what you going to talk about next?

How can you generate a supply of cool and hot topics to speak and write about?
What can you do to keep on top of and even ahead of this rapidly spinning news industry?
How can you create original stuff?

For me, it has always been a mixture of diving inside and searching outside. I look into myself for my opinions, points of view and feelings on a topic. Does it stir my passion? Make my fingers itchy to write? Is it something I agree with or feel strongly against? Then, I will do some research to see where this topic lies in Google, in the news and on social media. Sometimes,  I overhear a conversation, a snippet, an expression that triggers in me that lightbulb moment. I am sure this has happened to you as well?

However, there are times when we all need a break, when we need some ideas and some stimulation.
Here are 4 suggestions to get your engine revved up.

1. Craft the art of re-purposing your stories and messages. Re-thinking and re-composing them. Taking on the topic from another angle. Add another character or give a new example from your life.

2. Read books, blogs and articles, case studies and watch TED Talks. Then, twist it around in your words, using your unique way of expression.

3. Talk and ask people for their stories, knowledge, experiences and opinions. (but always request their permission first!)

4. Tips and tricks and How to – are always popular. Use your experience and wisdom to fill the page and share your knowledge.
