I found this article really helpful, and a lot of the advice made me nod along. The point about “making sure your audience knows what to take away” is something I realize many people, including myself, often overlook. I used to think preparing slides was enough, but now I see that giving a talk is more like having a conversation—you want people to feel comfortable and engaged. I also like the reminder to add a bit of humor and warmth. Next time I get the chance to speak, I’d really like to put this into practice.
