Quotes to ponder:

"People will only remember one or two things. So make it your story. Make it something they’ve never heard before."

"Vulnerability is what makes a speaker great. Not ‘confidence.’ Confidence without vulnerability is arrogance."

"The audience wants to be entertained, inspired, and educated. In that order."
