I edited some of it for brevity's sake. "No matter how much you prepare, something might, and probably will, go differently from how you had planned. Nobody prepares like Steve Jobs. He'll go through multiple full dress rehearsals of his Keynotes. I've written a post about being the perfect presenter before, but while reading "The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs" by Carmine Gallo , I read a great excerpt about Steve's perfection, or rather lack thereof, that I wanted to share with you. Notice that I didn't say something will go 'wrong.'

It seems as though they all want to be spontaneous and in the moment - and not rehearsed in any way. Very few seem to have a prepared speech. Not everyone who wins an Academy Award is an actor and therefore should not be expected to have the same familiarity with rehearsing a script. However, 45 seconds should Have you noticed how many award show winners run out of time? Okay, of course you have.

gave a presentation on Monday, which I prepared over the weekend. didn’t rehearse with the PowerPoint slides because I saw them as such a minimal part of the presentation. If I had been more nervous, I would have rehearsed with the PowerPoint slides and realized that I needed to insert black slides.

These strategies fall into three areas: your beliefs about presenting, rehearsal strategies and presenting strategies:
Video yourself rehearsing with friends and colleagues and make a point of elongating your silences past what is comfortable for you. When you’re rehearsing, practice saying things in alternative ways. Are you concerned that you might suffer a mind blank during a presentation?

They're afraid that if they practice, they will sound rehearsed or worse, memorized. Is it possible to be prepared and still be spontaneous? I'll share my method of preparation just as an example.

I am a huge advocate of rehearsing a presentation multiple times before giving it (even though I hate rehearsing as much as the next person). Rehearsal has a multitude of benefits:

It helps you internalize content, making it less likely you'll forget what to say.
It makes your delivery sound more polished and confident.
