Coached a founder yesterday who had eleven slides for a five-minute pitch. We cut it to three. Same story, same numbers, and for the first time she could look at the room instead of the screen. If the slide is not doing work, it is doing damage. #pitch #publicspeaking

The demo will break. Not might — will. Record ninety seconds of it working and keep it one keystroke away. Then rehearse the sentence you say while switching: "Let me show you the recorded version — same flow, fewer surprises." Calm is a preparation artefact, not a personality trait. #publicspeaking #pitch
