The last time I sent someone advice via email, the next thing I knew was that the same "HOW TO" advice ended up on some high profile blogs. No they did not steal my content - I just missed the timing on when that information was hot.
Tonight I sent a friend advice VIA Twitter - and decided not to miss the opportunity again!
@DebCE tweeted "I need to work on my presentation for conference. It's all in my head but won't spill out to the paper."
These are the steps I take when preparing a presentation.
- I imagine myself giving the talk, taking notes on what I am saying.
- Then take the notes and put them in some sort of order that makes sense using in full sentences.
- Then I read it out loud. At this point I fill in the blanks, adding more information to the places that I feel I have not been clear or have not explained a concept.
VOILA - I have my presentation.
Then I need to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE...and when I think I have it I practice some more. It doesn't kill the intimidation factor or stage fright - but it makes it a lot easier.
