It's good to hear what you go through because I have always felt I spent way too much time preparing for (or worrying over) my own speaking engagements. For 10 years, I taught a course and gave workshops in direct marketing and although my material was essentially the same each time out, I found myself constantly changing the presentation - always tweaking it. One piece of advice for others reading this, if you are speaking to a new audience, give a question or two to the person introducing you to help get things started. Many times, people are reluctant to ask the first question. Thanks, Michael, for the tips. Bob McCarthy Michael -

I guess i sub consciously do many of the suggestions you put forth, but based on my readings i have made it my approach more process oriented. Is there an email ID i can communicate with you on? Thank you Michael -
