Let’s be clear — public speaking takes work.

But if you build confidence and get your preparation right it can be stress-free and effortless.

Principle 1: Get comfortable.

Get reps in where you are comfortable before trying to speak to big crowds.

Consider:

• What do you know?
• What are you comfortable sharing?
• What stories can you tell?

Shape everything around what you are comfortable with.

Principle 2: You know your stuff

You wouldn’t be speaking if you knew nothing about the topic.

Either you:

• Chose to speak
• Have been asked to speak
• Are presenting on your work

In all these situations you have knowledge to share.
