As one of those freaks—brilliant is too far a stretch—who is great at giving talks without much prep (but awkward one-on-one haha), I would have you know that I'm reading this because YOU wrote it, and not for any other reason. Your writing is always crisp, concise and informative. I never feel like you're talking at me, but rather, with me. Thank you for being such a delightful read, and your pointers are practical and apt. It's also awesome that you know and are committed to improving your perceived weaknesses. Your latest TED Talk was 👌 and hit the sweet spot. Cheesy pun totally intended!
Excellent advice. I’ll have to try to find expertise and an audience, then I’m on my way! I wish this had been put so succinctly years ago (it may have been, but I missed it or it me). Thank you.
Fantastic advice - I am also a huge presentation / talk nerd. One thing to cover is zoom webinars! These are much trickier and you almost have to have a presentation. AI is getting very good at making them well if you know what you're doing. I made an online web app for my students on the art of giving presentations.

Strongly recommend “Moving Mountains.” From the 1960s and still excellent.
The criminal masterminds bit always gets me
When I conducted workshops on assessment & evaluation, I always included opportunities for TPS (Think/Pair/Share) https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1061947.pdf
