Public Speaking

Notes

Don't be afraid of slowing down a conversation (especially one about engineering).
You're not speaking to a group, you're speaking to each individual in a group. Always focus on someone briefly, including eye contact, and then on someone else.
It's easiest to talk well about things you're confident about.
Theory is great but practice is better. Find and join a Toastmaster club in your area or online.
If you use slides, do not read the slides to your audience. It's a waste of time: they can read, and they can read faster than you can talk.
Focus on the on the broad themes and concepts without trying to remember a specific sequence of words.
