And I think that the people that don't take the time to prepare doing themselves, because they're always the ones that later say to me, I wanted to say that, or I forgot I wanted to say that.
And I said this instead, and I rambled over here because they were not prepared.
And there's always those same people, or they just forget.
So it's always, and I think the preparation is huge.
And that can look a lot of different ways because different people do it differently.
But I think it really, really matters.
Like you think of those big name speakers, you know, like we just lost Jesse Jackson, right?
Like huge, huge speaker, person that made a difference.
Do you think he was winging it all the time?
No, but he knew it so well, he could speak from the heart and he can make it look like it was freely spoken.
Well, the purpose of it is to really remember, first of all, that whatever you're saying is not for you.
It's for your audience.
And so the purpose is to make sure that you leave them with what is going to help them and make a difference for them, not what you wanted to say.
Now, there is what you want to say, but that's not the purpose.
What you want to say is going to make a difference for them.
So it's it's major.
And I think, you know, there's different ways people do it.
I personally I like to write it all out and I like to know it well enough.
So like you were saying, you know, ad libbing and pivoting, you have to know your material well enough.
You're talking about well enough so that you can dance with it that way.
