I gave a very brief report this morning at a meeting of our Trustees. Most of the presentation was in writing, distributed ahead of time. That is tedious to compile but not particularly deep.
As is my wont I gave a two-minute summary of process and asked for questions. I used to be terrified of that kind of public speaking, and I'm not complacent now, but I seem to do it well and the fear isn't there.
I've gotten much better at figuring out what listeners want. I've also gotten good at constructing some kind of hook or comment at the beginning that is unexpected, to make sure and engage the listeners and grab their attention.
