The Formula
S = f { K, P, t }
Public speaking is a function of mostly knowledge, partly practice and just a bit of talent.
1) State Vision, Promise, or Goal
2) What have you done? Action. Results
3) Summarize the take away's. (Question and answer)
Presentation Structure
When we Webcast lessons or when we are selling Build-It-Yourself, keep your presentation or lecture as short as possible. 10 slides, 30 – 60 seconds per slide. Leave lots of time for Q&A.

Public Speaking Lecture Notes from MIT Artificial Intelligence Prof. Winston
1) Use slides with just a few key words or symbols. Don't make the audience read. They will fall asleep.
2) Repeat or reinforce your key points 3 times to reach 90% of audience. At any point in time only 30% of your audience is tuned in. (Winston's math is a bit weak here but his point is not.)
3) Ask questions to make sure the audience is paying attention.
4) Put your idea in context. Compare to competing ideas. Refer to popular analogies. State benefits.
5) End with a joke or interesting storyline. That way, the audience will think they had fun for the whole lecture.
Don’t make your audience read.
