I find that rehearsing tends to make my presentations sound over-prepared
- I tend to just wing it (which surprises a lot of people who've heard me
present). I think it comes from being very comfortable with the topic
being presented - if you're good enough with it that you can talk about
it off-the-cuff, that seems to make for the best presentations.
