Preparation Is Everythingby Stephen Boyd | February 15, 2005 You can have the greatest topic, be speaking to an enthusiastic audience, have material that this specific audience needs to hear, and be excited about your topic, and yet not be successful. Why? Because you lack proper preparation. Preparation is the single most important part of a successful speech. One of the difficulties with preparation is that it may be hard to determine when you are really ready to speak. Often, when coaching people in their speaking, I will hear, "Well, I thought I was ready, but I wish I had prepared more." How can you insure proper preparation before you speak?
Remember, if you do not practice your speech, then your actual presentation is a practice session. You have too much at stake to allow that to happen.
