• ask the right questions to expertly research your audience
• map out an impactful speech on a single page, rooted in one simple core message
• bookend your presentation with a captivating intro and a powerful close
• engage the audience with stories and original analogies they will remember
• incorporate interactive elements to involve participants
• match your message to your actions: body language, eye contact, and gestures
• make PowerPoint, and other visuals, your side-kick not your biggest distraction
• rehearse like a pro in minimal time, to solidify yourself as the expert
• hone the formula to nail the question period, or impromptu portion
• recover when everything seems to go wrong
• calm your jitters and build confidence

Everyone will have an opportunity to present and receive feedback. Whether you want to MC a friend's wedding or nail your next client or professional presentation this will set you on path to world class speaking!
