Yes, I know, I sound like the voice of doom after your good ideas, but I really do think it's important to make the point. Presenting badly (or badly as far as your audience is concerned, which isn't the same thing but just as important) will actually turn all the plusses you mention above into negatives....! I'm not saying don't do it - just get some training and practice first!

My fifteen years as a public speaker here in the UK have brought me: four-figure sales of my humorous booklet; scriptwriting commissions; presentation skills coaching work; readers and subscribers for my public speaking tips blog; radio interviews; numerous mentions and write-ups by local papers, magazines and websites before and after my talks; excellent unsolicited testimonials; good quality publicity photographs from events...plus, of course, so many further paid speaking engagements through repeat bookings and recommendations. It's publicity for me that I get paid for doing! A great post, Joan. My fifteen years as a public speaker here in the UK have brought me:
