Creating a great presentation is hard!

In an insightful blog post about the difficulty of creating a true piece of oral thought leadership, speaker Whitney Hess asks, “Why did this talk take so many drafts and such a deep failure in order to succed?”

And answers:

“In part because the moment you become convinced you’re good at something is the moment you start to suck at it. And also because as time goes on, you become attracted to topics that are more complex and a lot tougher to tackle. If it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth doing. I can assure you that the rewards far outweigh the costs.”
