The key to acing public speaking
When you commit to memorizing a talk, you lock yourself into delivering your presentation in a single, rigid way. Make one slip from your script and your brain is prone to go into panic mode, writes Stanford’s Matt Abrahams. Instead of a script, Abrahams suggests you create a presentation roadmap. Know the succession of points you’d like to express and the general order you’d like to communicate them. Unlike a script, a map can offer a sense of where you’re heading along with some wiggle room in how you get there.
