A good performance is authentic behavior in a manufactured environment.
–Michael Port
The better prepared you are, the easier it is to be authentic.
–Michael Port
If you have a high stakes situation, and you need your Powerpoint slides to know what’s coming next, you’re not prepared enough.
–Michael Port
Three questions people ask when listening to a speech:
Will this thing work?
Is this something worth my time?
Is this person able to champion this idea?
The five components of great speeches:
A big idea that is relevant to the listeners
Be very clear on what is being promised in the presentation
Make sure you can demonstrate that you understand the way the world looks to them
Be able to demonstrate the consequences of not adopting the big idea
Work hard to serve the audience
