Speak With Confidence: The Executive Public Speaking Checklist

The complete pre-talk, delivery-day, and Q&A checklist from Confident Conversations: Mastering the Art of Connection. Preparation is 80% of success. This is that 80%.

What is inside your free checklist

  • One-sentence core message: the single thing your audience must remember
  • An opening that lands: a statistic, a provocative question, a story, or a bold statement. Never an apology
  • Delivery-day nerves, handled: power pose, 4-7-8 breathing, and "I am excited" instead of "I am nervous"
  • Voice and body control: pace, strategic pauses, tall posture, and 2-3 second eye contact
  • Q&A you can own: repeat the question, answer concisely, and be honest when you do not know
  • Virtual presenting that still lands: test the tech, look at the lens, keep your energy high

This checklist was written for people who...

...have a talk, a pitch, or a presentation coming up and want it to land without the 3am dread spiral.

First-time presenters

Walk into your first talk with a structure, an opening, and a closing that already work.

Managers and founders

Give updates people remember, without reading slides word for word.

Client-facing teams

Pitch, train, and report with the confidence of someone who prepared on purpose.

Virtual presenters

Hold attention on a screen: lens contact, energy, and interaction built in.

"Success is 80% preparation."
