Preparing For Your Speech

Preparing for your speech is an important aspect of giving a great talk and here to give us her trade secrets is Melanie Deziel.

We give you a behind-the-scenes look at how we each rehearse and get ready for the stage. We specifically talk about music we listen to, food we eat or don’t eat, how much we hydrate, and what else we do in the hours leading up to the talk.
