    Frank,

    Thanks for sharing John's post and hist excellent blog. I think the best way to avoid memorizing is to have a deep understanding of the subject. If you are giving a 7 minute speech, you should research and collect enough material to be able to speak for at least 30 minutes.

    Hi Santosh, I really liked John's advice on that post. And what you say here is true: be an expert and plenty to say...don't come up thin.

    I also like what you're doing on Art of Speaking...and I added you to the blogroll and to my daily reads on Google Reader.

    Cheers!

    I remember doing my very first presentatin - and memorising the whole thing! These days I'm more relaxed - it's more about what the audience needs than what I need.

    Thanks for referencing this blog Frank - have picked it up myself.
