Successful speakers that get invited back by the meeting planners make it a point to know their material before they utter their first word on the stage. You have no idea what may occur at the event that could affect your presentation. The client might reduce or extend your time in front of the audience or equipment malfunctions could occur. Knowing your material well will help you "roll with the punches" or react to whatever happens.

In this episode you're going to learn from a great speaker and a friend of mine, Reverand Clyde Talley. Rev. Talley is an award-winning speaker, an ordained minister and a 20 year member of Toastmasters International. Because there is so much to learn from hearing the stories of how other speakers got their start, I've asked him to tell us how he got started speaking with passion, along with offering tips for new speakers. He is a big believer in encouraging speakers to know their material.
