Preparation & public speaking

You should spend an week working on a speech of 30 seconds, a day on a speech of 2 minutes and a hour on a speech of 5 minutes.  On a speech of more that that, spend only as long as you feel you might need.  We tend to over talk our points - whether in government, sales or simply to each other.  The rehearsal of the material is also critical - as I have mentioned before, you need to be focused on practice, practice, practice!

Tonight, I will hopefully join with business people to actively recruit the City to help business in a tangible way.  More on that later. . .
