Discover tactics for structuring and managing the three critical components of your speech: the opening, the body, and the call to action. Explore best practices for rehearsing your presentations and for managing challenges that can arise as you're delivering a talk, whether it's stage fright or provocative, tough questions from your audience. Includes a section on evaluating your presentations to identify lessons you can apply to subsequent talks.
