How to Manage Time When Giving a Speech - Public Speaking Video Lecture

so how do you manage time when giving a
speech there are some times when you're
told you must finish in 10 minutes or
you have exactly 20 minutes and you've
got to be precise but any time you're
giving a presentation you should have a
sense of how long it will take well the
number one way to really get a handle on
this is to practice on video before you
give the speech in front of the live
audience and you can actually see how
many minutes did it take then give
yourself another couple of minutes
because it's always gonna take you
longer in real life but if you don't
practice you don't really know how long
it's going to be what you can't do is
read your speech silently and have an
accurate sense of how long your
presentation will be because you're
always gonna read faster then you'll
talk here's another tip I just take my
watch off and put it on a table or put
it on a lectern and that gives me a
sense of where I am in time especially
if there's question-and-answer but
here's the bigger picture rather than
focusing on time focus on really giving
your audience valuable relevant
information because you can stand up
give your speech sit down in five
minutes but if nobody remembered
anything what have you accomplished not
much it's far better to speak for
fifteen minutes and have people really
remember your ideas so they can act on
them rather than stand up be concise
finish in three minutes exactly on
schedule and nobody remember a thing so
it all comes down to practice on video
and be aware of your surroundings where
you can judge the time
