Litany of fear
Why fear is the biggest obstacle in presentation
Overcoming fear

scool.
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration
I will face my fear
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain"

What is a great presentation
Takeaways:

Great start: casual and funny

Builds a reference/context Builds relatability

He sets up the importance of his topic. Why it matters to listen to him

Why should people be interested in what you are saying, and he refers to a story
they already know.

And now he starts a story; the drawing lesson story about god.

The humor is extra.

He makes a point and then reemphasises it with stories.
