Agreed – though I once gave a presentation in front of a large group and wrote a word-for-word speech. I borrowed an iPad and installed a teleprompter program in it. When I went on stage, I realized there was no way for me to follow the teleprompter and advance my slides in Keynote, so I just winged it. In reality I wrote the whole speech off the top of my head, there was no reason for me to speak that way as well. So I’d call my approach somewhat of a hybrid but they key to success here is knowing your material well enough. Overall, great article!
