Pick a topic you care about- If you can pick your topic, pick something you care about - If not, find a reason to care2. Prepare well- State your intention in one word: Inform, Entertain, or Motivate - Draft the talk - focus on only 3-5 points to make (without powerpoint!) - Write them down to be very clear - YOU CANNOT DUMB IT DOWN ENOUGH - Make each point actionable or understandable - Write out the points, sub points, examples (PERSONAL STORIES), and visuals. - Do not write out the whole talk - Do not use powerpoint at this stage - Do write out the closing and practice it. - Practice it timing yourself - If you feel like you do not have enough material, you should be perfect! - Once practiced, add visuals to make impact3. Before the talk- Prepare for talk if all goes wrong - Visit the setting and walk to your point. (BEGINNER/EXPERIENCED) - Meet some people if you are nervous4.
