I’ve never actually “written” a talk. I wonder if that’s what takes my public speaking ability to the next level. Very thought provoking, especially because the process Katerina describes is so different from mine. Do you write your talks?https://twitter.com/biliouriful/status/961259091925635072 …

No. I've never been willing to go the extra Ted effort to write, memorize completely, to be able to improv. My observation is that those who write scripts but don't memorize sound stilted in delivery

I also feel like this is sort of the difference between "execs who have to improv without script all the time" and "super professional speakers"

Are you saying that super professional speakers are the ones that write, refine, and memorize a script?

at an extreme: George Carlin. It’s memorized, it’s practiced and refined, and it sounds spontaneous. It’s like a song

I like to tell people to watch comedians to see how they present: looks natural and spontaneous. And, er, “rehearse your ad libs”.

Never been able to do that myself for a whole talk though. Articles like this remind me that there’s so much to learn…

Indeed. I hope to keep getting better until I die. I love (and hate) public speaking.
