A Talk about Talking : Making a Memorable Presentation
summary
Concrete checklist for shows and meetings: define why anyone should care, draft an outline with three core points and rehearse those until natural, get feedback from at least one real person, and tailor depth to audience seniority. Distinguish training from day‑of preparation (no heavy food, check clicker, animations), avoid over‑rehearsing, use small swag as an icebreaker, and practice in crowded spaces like a noisy store to simulate distraction. Tell the story of the work with clear outcomes.
