Three Ks of Public Speaking

Whether you are presenting or giving a speech, keep in mind the three Ks of public speaking.

1.  Know Your Audience

     What is your audience interested in?  What is their attention span?

2.  Know Yourself

     What is your capability?  Can you deliver a joke?  Do you have a sense of timing?

3.  Keep it Simple

     Deliver detailed information in handouts.  Speeches are for delivering concept and motivation. 
     Presentation is for information, selling or persuading.

By focusing on these three Ks, you can eliminate over-analyzing your speech or presentation and keep focus on the important things.
