Key Take-Aways
1. For effective delivery, your preparation includes more than rehearsal. It also includes a warm-up, designed by you, done just before you go "onstage."
2. A successful warm-up employs motor memory (also called "muscle memory"), which is also key to high-impact delivery techniques involving eye contact, etc.
3. High-impact delivery creates a tacit dialogue with the audience.
