Recently I sat down with my friend Lynda and relayed to her the 5 things I think about whenever I am preparing to speak in front of folks or teach at Church. She thought they were helpful, maybe you would too. Here they are:

1. Start with the end in mind(including your planning).

2. Keep it simple.

3. Be yourself and freely admit that.

4. Get feedback from various sources.

5. Don’t take it personally, always look to improve.

That’s it. More on the list later.
