Last week, Risk Takers NYC invited me to teach two back-to-back 45-minute workshops for 50 young women each.

Mostly the participants were on their feet doing exercises.  But I did give this brief overview of public speaking:

“There are two parts to public speaking:  First, try to get as clear as you can about what you want to say.  Second, try to say it as clearly as possible.  That’s it; that’s public speaking.”

Is it really that simple??  Is all the rest commentary?  What do you think?
