In my case, my example was for my upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/stirtrek.com\/\">Stir Trek<\/a> talk, but I also make sure to talk about ways that you can apply this preparation to business presentations, best man toasts, or oral book reports.  I made sure to include a lot of practical resources and steps you can take to ensure that you can give a great presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Preparation truly is key and I&#8217;ve seen some smart people give terrible presentations because they didn&#8217;t prepare properly, so I&#8217;m very paranoid about the subject.  However, one of my old bosses really drilled the importance of preparation into me, so I take it very seriously and I&#8217;m pretty passionate about it.  It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are leading a meeting, giving a keynote, or writing a blog.  People can tell if you&#8217;ve put the background time in or not.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d definitely appreciate a listen.<\/p>\n<p>You can also subscribe to the podcast at any of these places:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-pete-on-software-podcast\/id789451013?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/iTunes.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"iTunes Link\" title=\"iTunes Link\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/pospfiles\/posp.xml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/Rss.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"RSS Feed\" title=\"RSS Feed\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all the people who listen, and a special thanks to those who have rated me.
