Give a TED-style talk that gets a lot of views
- Arrange your message onto the 9-up format: same size as sticky notes, until you are happy with the flow.
- Solicit feedback from effective presenters that you trust to give honest, unfiltered feedback on your narrative and slides.
- Rehearse with a great (honest) communicator that is not afraid to speak up.
- Articulate each point clearly.
- Practice with a clock counting up the minutes, to know how much you're over. Then trim it down.
- Once you're within the timeframe, practice with a clock counting down. Know where you should be at 6, 12 and 18 minutes.
- Let your coach jot down what you say well and what you don’t.
- Don’t be camera shy. Practice by videotaping yourself.
- Do one more full timed rehearsal right before you walk on stage.
- Pick two natural places you could stop in your talk, then demarcate those as possible endings.
