“â¦when 100 people are listening to you for an hour, thatâs 100 hours of peopleâs time devoted to what you have to say. If you canât spend 5 or 10 hours preparing for them, thinking about them, and refining your points to best suit their needs, what does that say about your respect for your audienceâs time? It says that your 5 hours are more important than 100 of theirs, which requires an ego larger than the entire solar system. And there is no doubt this disrespect will be obvious once you are on the stage.” – Confessions of a Public Speaker , Scott Berkun
