When was the last time you up-dated your presentation or speech with some new wording, illustrations, or ideas? If you don't regularly do this you should and it is not hard.
There are number of fairly quick and easy ways to do this, both on paper and even online, which we'll look at in the next post. The first of these is we have already looked at: Mind Mapping.
In addition to the smaller master-Mind Map of your presentation make a larger one, preferably on sheets of paper about the same size you use on your large flip charts. Make a master map of the entire presentation and then one for each of the main parts of your speech or presentation on a separate sheet.
You'll find this much easier if you use the same flip-chart board and stand that you use during presentations. Keep this handy in your office ready to use so as you gather new ideas and material for each of the sections you can simply turn to that page and either replace older sections with new information -- or add new information on additional branches on the Mind Map.
That way your material will always be current. Just before your next presentation all you have to is rewrite your material from the already updated Mind Map. Or simply create another presentation Mind Map with the new or revised information.
This will ensure that your presentation is always up to date with the latest or new ideas and also that you become even more familiar with your material.
This will help you to create an even more extemporaneous style -- which your audience will love.
