Goal #1 of 10 goals that lay the foundation for a successful speech.

The post emphasizes the importance of 10 goals for successful presenting. These include comfort, familiarity with the topic, readiness, knowing the presentation area and equipment, enthusiasm, suitable dress code, staying hydrated, restroom use prior to starting, self-forgiveness for mistakes, and focusing on freedom rather than fear. The post positions the speaker at the center, asserting that success in speech is about personal development. It’s not about the speech itself. The post closes with an invitation to sign up for the blog, inquire about the FDS training, and explore membership benefits at the FDS Dojo to potentially earn a Black Belt in public speaking.
