Summary: Treat Every Audience as New and Keep Your Talk Alive

When you deliver the same talk several times, it’s easy to get bored by your own words. But the audience is hearing them for the first time. Think like an actor who performs the same show night after night: every performance deserves full energy. By focusing on your audience — what they need, what they’ll find useful and how you can help them understand — your delivery stays lively. You reconnect with the purpose of the talk, your energy rises and each audience gets a fresh, engaging version.
