Ignite speakers are given five minutes to speak about their ideas accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide is displayed for 15 seconds, and slides are automatically advanced. The presentations are meant to “ignite” the audience on a subject, generating awareness and stimulating thought and action on the subjects presented.
Testimonials
“Lynne Zink gave a keynote to the senior classes at Perry Hall High School a week before the Senior Interview Day. Our first unit of the year was on Success and Lynne tied communication skills in with success effortlessly. She told her story of winning the Championship of Auctioneering and the kids were interested throughout the entire 45 minute presentation. They could not wait to get to the part where she demonstrated her skills. The most important part of the presentation for me was the quote she used with her children throughout their lives, “No Excuses, Just Results!” Lynne Zink was energetic, enthusiastic and all of the students related to what she said.”
Martha Bingaman, Teacher of English, Perry hall High School
