Andrew,
Love this article, great summary with useful tips. The 3 Activities give clear direction to the speaker. This type of “advance work” can set both the stage and and the speaker for success. Must be serendipity, I have a similar article scheduled to be published 1Q10 on the same topic that includes an on-site checklist.

Timely advice about listening to other speakers. I have only seen it a few times, where speakers use illustrations or points that were already used by a previous speaker.

A skillful speaker will allow for this possibility and either mention that they are looking again at the info or do a hat trick by providing other information not provided.

Of course, you can only do this if you hear the speakers before you.

I very much agree with the three tips on how to spend the minutes before your speech. All are helpful for taking the focus off you and putting it on the audience – whom you must connect with to be successful even if it means changing some things you’d planned!
