Back in the school days, memorizing tons of information was something normal for us. Now, as grown-ups we are rather inclined into understanding  the logic of the information we are trying to assimilate.

 

This explains in a certain way many of us tend to be reluctant when we need to prepare in detail a presentation or a speech. We are afraid of forgetting content paragraphs so we choose the easy way of improvising.

 

As specialists in specific fields it might be easy for us to speak for hours whenever asked to. But what about our public? Would this be the best way to transmit the story we wanted to? Should we let the audience wonder at the end: "Nice presentation, but what was it about actually?"...

 

Wouldn't it be more efficient to throughly prepare before the event, structure the information and establish a story line that would keep the people connected and focused and help us shape the myriad of ideas inside our minds?

 

Practice and memorizing could become essential allies for our long journey, all we have to do is answer the question:

 

"How much do I value the presentation that I'm about to present"

 

If your answer is "a lot" then you will agree that a week performance could damage your professional reputation. As a consequence you will choose to improve as much as you can, practice and memorize the essential elements throughout your content and put down on paper multiple scenarios that would allow you to confidently choose the words during the presentation.
