You’re in an executive position and have to give a speech. What’s the worst mistake you could make?
In almost all cases, it's best to speak from notes and frame your remarks as conversationally as possible. Even if you are an excellent writer, with prose that readers routinely gobble up and praise you for, reading those very same sentences from printed pages or a screen--even with a ton of energy--typically undercuts audience engagement. Being cued by your notes (or by your PowerPoint deck) almost always works a lot better, and it gives you opportunities to make eye contact with your audience, and to respond--sometimes improvisationally--to audience reactions (do they seem bored? did they laugh at that last comment?) and adjust your delivery accordingly. UPDATE: I've added a little more on this topic at my LinkedIn profile.
