BBI Presents: Ideas Untapped

Ideas Untapped is a new lectures series presented by BBI that explores the questions you've always wondered about... over a drink or two.
About this Event

Join us for our very first Ideas Untapped lecture "Why Does Public Speaking Trigger Fight or Flight? How our brains turn an audience into a perceived threat"!

We'll learn from Alejandra Fuentes, founder of The President's Lab, which is a public speaking and leadership company that helps people manage their nerves, organize their thoughts, and communicate with confidence. Get ready to dive into the science behind why you feel like you're in danger whenever you speak in front of a crowd, or simply conversing with someone - a problem we have ALL experienced at some point. Ale will then walk us through ways to biologically calm down the natural fight or flight instinct, and gather our thoughts to communicate effectively.

You'll also want to stick around to continue the conversation and meet with other curious minds from around the region!
