Thanks for the article. You are right about focusing on your audience and doing the homework to know who they are in order to customize your speech for that group. Your approach reinforces the power of 3’s. The beginning, middle and end. Having 3 key points you want to focus on during the middle of the presentation and being able to subgroup those into 3 subtopics for each point.

I agree that Mind Mapping is a great way to structure a speech. Not only is Mind Mapping a great way to prepare the speech but it is also in my experience the best prompt sheet to deliver a speech. A Hand drawn Mind Map with only individual key words on each branch is a great way to ensure a smooth navigation through a presentation and is also much better than things like Flash Cards to manage the time. With Flash Cards you can’t see in front of you what’s to come and what can be pruned. With the Mind Map you have the whole presentation in front of you and ‘pruning’ can be done as you go along leaving out the ideas on the peripheral branches but being sure that in doing so you are not missing out any really key points.

Great post. Too often people overlook the importance of simplifying their message, making it as clear as possible. They tend to cram all of their knowledge into the time constraints instead of focusing on one or a few core points.

Also, the mind-map suggestion is great. I usually grab a pencil and paper and try to map out all of my thoughts to get a more clear picture, then eliminate the unnecessary.
