And for me, perfect timing. I've been working on a speech that I am trying to make my "signature" presentation. I'm back to the editting table, to see where I can change verbal to visual. Thanks so much. Dawna Darren - As always, wonderful advice. And for me, perfect timing. I’ve been working on a speech that I am trying to make my “signature” presentation.

What I have stressed with many over the years is to NEVER transcribe from memory! The only way you can transcribe is from an actual recording, video or audio. If you try to transcribe a presentation from your mind, the very things you're talking about in the article will manage to disappear. You almost NEVER hear these mistakes in your head. I don't care how painful it is to watch or listen to your presentation; you MUST do it! This does NOT mean you have to perform your presentation verbatim from a script, but you need to transcribe what you present. Ah, the concept of transcribing.

I believe that it could even be a "distraction" to have both - the action, if it is delivered accurately and sincerely, will be more effective than words, most of the time. Ranee Absolutely, Darren!

You are totally right. I now realize that I have been writing my speeches for "reading" and not "visualizing". If we are there and our audience is there, make it visual, avoid "narration", show it! And we will save a lot of words. Thank you, Master. :) Edith. Club Awesome. Outstanding!!! You are totally right.
