   Frank,

   Thanks for sharing John’s post and hist excellent blog. I think the best way to avoid memorizing is to have a deep understanding of the subject. If you are giving a 7 minute speech, you should research and collect enough material to be able to speak for at least 30 minutes.

   Regards,
   Santosh

   Hi Santosh, I really liked John’s advice on that post. And what you say here is true: be an expert and plenty to say…don’t come up thin.

   I also like what you’re doing on Art of Speaking…and I added you to the blogroll and to my daily reads on Google Reader.

   Cheers!

   I remember doing my very first presentatin – and memorising the whole thing! These days I’m more relaxed – it’s more about what the audience needs than what I need.

   Thanks for referencing this blog Frank – have picked it up myself.

   Hi Megan, I really like The You Blog…glad you do too. And isn’t it so true about presenting? It’s a long way away from those first times trying to memorize…
