The next thing I want you to do quickly is to come up with a simple and I mean simple one page outline for your presentation. And you're not going to need the whole page, but write it in big font. I just hand wrote this speech, you've seen number one, number two, number three, and put story give you a couple of words underneath the one point that you're going to have a story you need to have an outline, do not, I beg you, beg you, as I mentioned in the first lecture, don't try to write out the whole speech, you'll be up till four in the morning, you'll be so tired, you'll have bags under your eyes. That's what people will notice, not the fact that you've memorized or reading a great speech. So don't stay up late. Writing the speech instead, have a very simple outline, three points, and a few words to remind you of your story, your one story to flesh out your main point.

And that's going to be the roadmap for your presentation. Write it out big enough, so you don't have to hold it up. You don't have to sort of stop and put your glasses on and fiddle with it. Since it's only one page, you're not gonna have to be turning pages. It's going to be simple, clean, efficient. And this way, you're going to fool people into thinking, you've been practicing rehearsing for a long time, because you're just talking to them.

You're not reading paper notes and you're not reading a PowerPoint. So please, one page, three bullet points, very large 10 words or less for each bullet point and underneath one of them a few words to remind you of your story and that is going to be a roadmap. That is going to be your security blanket for this speech coming up in just a few hours.
