Even if you hangout online all day and rarely have face-to-face contact with anybody, sooner or later, you're going to have to present your point of view, make a pitch, or actually talk to somebody.

Don't screw it up.

This episode gives a four-part process to think about when speaking, to help you communicate your message effectively as well as keep people interested in what you're saying.

What You'll Learn:

• Two ways to outline a speech
• A good reason to use bulletpoints when delivering a speech (it's not what you think)
• How to lose people within seconds of starting your speech (this is more common than you'd think...)
• What's your uniform?
• The truth about using Power Point (or Keynote) in presentations
• When you should walk off stage (and how you should do it)
• Why even the best speaker in the world can fail on stage
• The reason good speakers plan a speech like a workout at the gym -- this almost guarantees your speech will be successful
