Preparation Precision

It's an ever-evolving process to prepare, Wendy says. One of the main ideas in her preparation process is to focus on having one main idea that's practical for everyone in the audience. She then expands her presentation to support that one practical takeaway. Memorability is Wendy Gates Corbett's desire for each presentation. She has a solid point about using specific vocabulary and how visuals may need to change!

 A Tip from Wendy

Practice your presentation out loud.  Practice even if you feel you know your presentation. The more energy you can give to your audience, the greater impact your presentation can have on your audience. We all have a finite amount of energy and using that energy to remember your content does your audience a disservice. Use your energy to connect with the audience.
