JAN Talks are our signature “lightning practice TED talks.” Members are given about 5 minutes to deliver a talk to the room as a practice for refining their talk for future speaking engagements. This is a great chance to practice the storytelling and communication skills we discussed during the year while perhaps building out your platform, in a supportive room with people who are here only to help make you even better!
