Episode takeaways you don’t want to miss:

You have to be willing to put in the prep work. Understand who your audience is, what they need from you, and how you can best serve them through your presentation.
What is the message you want your audience to hear? What is the problem you are going to help them solve or the new thing you are going to teach them?
Once you’ve mapped out the main teaching points of the content, work the rest of your presentation around them to make sure you are taking your audience on a clear journey from where they are to where they want to be.
We are often blind to what is most valuable to others. So, test out your main points on a friend to make sure they make sense and bring value to your talk.
