Coffee Talk

I've somehow found myself delivering a 10 minute presentation in the next Coffee Talk for my organization - basically a 1 hour briefing by teleconference to all staff (1,700+) on Tuesday next week.

Dry run today. I don't do dry runs. I find it artificial when I'm not talking to a real audience. I don't do scripts either as that simply sounds like you're reading from a page which of course you are. Got me into trouble before now though, when I've improvised and overstepped the mark for my audience (happened in the US where they can be surprisingly uptight).

Little wonder Rachel is worried about my father of the bride speech. No script. No rehearsal. Alcohol :-)
