This lesson walks you through a personal prep checklist to help you feel grounded, organized, and ready to deliver your talk — whether you're stepping onto a big stage, a Zoom room, or a networking event.

We’ll cover the practical (like payment and gear) and the energetic (like mindset and intention), so you’re fully supported from all angles.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Speaker prep includes both logistics and energetic readiness.
• Things to confirm before the event:
  • Is there a speaker fee?
  • Are travel or accommodations covered?
  • Are you allowed to sell or pitch from the stage?
• Know what’s provided:
  • Mic setup (lapel, handheld, headset?)
  • Slide deck format and how to advance slides
  • Time limits and schedule for your segment
• Prep your own materials:
  • Print a backup of your slides and bullet points
  • Bring water, business cards, and anything you need to feel comfortable
• Set an intention and check your mindset — you’re there to serve and shine.

📝 Workbook Prompt (52-53):

Print out the preparation checklist and review it before any speaking engagement.
Then ask yourself:

• What do I still need to confirm with the event host?
• What do I need to bring or prepare for myself?
• What’s my intention for this audience?
