Are you nervous before a speech or presentation? Joan Lloyd, nationally recognized consultant, suggests taking some time to think about your audience. Ask yourself these questions:
- What does the audience need from me the most?
- What does the audience fear the most?
- How will the audience benefit from what I have to say?
- What would I like the audience to think, feel or do when I’m finished?
