In his keynote speech, René Borbonus talks about “Relevance – what becomes important, why, when and for whom”. The more communication there is, the less there will be of it. When people fail with their goals, it is often due to communication. Sometimes that's a good thing - there's already enough nonsense in the world. But when people who can really make a difference are not heard because their words move no one, that is a tragedy. In this lecture, René Borbonus shows how you can make your messages relevant. How do we get through to people when everyone is talking at once? How do we formulate important ideas so that the words reach the heart?
