Objectives 7 The “Why” behind the What General feedback from previous NACS Show Education sessions is that the topic was too broad and not focused on application How to put this into play You don’t have to read every objective bullet by bullet. You can make it a part of the story you want to tell about your topic. It’s conversational Every presentation must have 3-5 objectives Objectives answer the question, "What will attendees be ABLE TO DO when they leave my session?” Objectives begin with a verb This slide can be deleted before you submit your draft

Example of Objectives ■Translate your vision into an inspiriting story for your employees ■Create purpose for your employees by connecting the dots on how their performance contributes to the vision ■Identify accountability measures that drive a culture of high performance 8 This slide can be deleted before you submit your draft Session Title: Purpose-Driven Employees Description: We all want employees to be more engaged and drive, to exhibit leader-lie behaviors, and to feel like they make a difference.
