So you have to prepare for a speech, huh? Even worse...you have to do it by tomorrow, and you haven't even started?
Ah, the humanity! You have to choose your speech topic, come up with your presentation ideas, then write your speech and rehearse your performance to make absolutely sure it's impeccable in front of all those people who will be looking and judging you — and you have to do all of these by the next day.
Can you just feel the panic yet? Yikes! Fear not; not all hope is lost. You can create and deliver a memorable, convincing speech all within 24 hours or less (even overnight when your fatigued body wants to throw in the towel and your dreary eyes want to take you to dreamland).
"Impossible!" you say? Not necessarily. What is speaking? It's nothing more than simply talking, and you have been doing that all your life; however, add the word public to it — and it is you who becomes your own worst enemy when it comes to the art of public speaking.
Hence, the situation and setting may have changed when you're up there at the podium in front of a large group or audience, but it shouldn't be any different from talking to a few people in front of you.
The point is...you have an upcoming speech to make but haven't started on it — so that's where Instant Public Speaking comes in! How to use the "instant idea chain" as an effective brainstorming method to come up with ideas at the speed of bullets. How to tackle your speech with the "different formats" to opt for and when you should use each one that will save you time, energy, and frustration.
