Speaker Ready: MVP Bill Ayers and Just a Minute
In the radio panel game "Just a Minute", contestants have to talk about a randomly chosen subject for 60 seconds "without hesitation, deviation or repetition". Sometimes giving a presentation feels like that. Although most conference sessions are more like 60 minutes in length, you can think of it in terms of a succession of 60 second sub-topics. If you want to sound natural, you need to master this skill.
