Using visualisation to prepare for your speech

Visualisation is a very useful tool in preparing for a presentation.

Visualise the feelings you have as you present. They will help you prepare for passion. They will also let you know if you are being authentic.

Visualise the audience – who they are, what they are thinking, how they are responding. Everything about your speech has to be geared to those things.

Visualise the audience members as they stand to leave. What are they thinking now? What will they do in response to you presentation? And you will know, very simply, the core message of your speech.

The answers to all of these will guide you as you work through preparing your speech.
