Brilliance By Design (subtitle: Creating Learning Experiences That Connect, Inspire, and Engage) first published in 2011, is a business and self-help book written by Vicki Halsey. Halsey presents an approach to teaching that uses a "70/30" approach - where the instructor spends 70% of their energy working on optimally showcasing their content and only 30% on the content itself - to improve the quality of presentations in any education setting.

Key concepts
The core model of the book is the ENGAGE model:


 * E - Energize learners: Start off strong and energetic to capture the students' attention.


 * N - Navigate content: Gauge the best ways to present the content and reinforce comprehension through reviews.


 * G - Generate Meaning: Show practical uses of the content to move it to your students' long-term memory.


 * A - Apply to real world: Demonstrate the skills through real-world examples of application


 * G - Gauge and celebrate: Maintain a positive, congratulatory ending that reinforces the accomplishment of learning the content.


 * E - Extend learning to action: Send out follow-up summaries and maintain a support network for post-presentation interactions.
