I am speaking at a conference this morning and while speaking engagements don't make me nervous, I do get to the point where I am ready to go and feel restless as I wait.
I'm at that point right now.
Mostly.
My talk is three sentences.
Now, to be clear, I never write out my talks and presentations. I outline them first and then add a few notes of things I might want to mention. That allows me to personalize my remarks off the cuff and make eye contact with those to whom I am speaking. I also have some ideas in my mind for tangents I might want to speak about, depending on the time I have been given to speak.
So, yeah, I am ready.
I wish the clock really was going as fast as this.
Stay 'tooned!
