2. Developing a talk is a team sport.
It takes several people to help craft a good talk. You need to talk with people about how they feel and what they think about what you're talking about. Feedback from other people is critical to improving your message.
3. Communicate to help people, not impress people.
There is always the temptation to try and make yourself look good when you're communicating. The best communicators know that their message doesn't really matter unless it makes an impact on their audience.
