153 - How To Memorise Your Presentation So You Don’t Need Notes

Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson: communication coaching for humble leaders

If I had a dollar for every person who’s asked me ‘how do I memorise my presentations?’ … 

In this episode of Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson I’m talking about why memorising your presentation is a REALLY bad idea, and what you can do instead to deliver a powerful presentation.

Listen in to hear:

  • Why you DON’T want to even try to memorise your presentation

  • My top strategies for note-taking and using my slide decks for keeping me on track

  • It’s more than acceptable to have notes (really, it is!)

  • How memorising actually robs you of a key outcome of speaking, which is connecting with your audience

I mention my ‘Frame Your Thinking’ method ⁠in this episode⁠ - you can listen to ⁠episode 74⁠ to learn more.
