80% of all public speeches delivered are done off-the-cuff. Speaking off-the-cuff is not about speaking unprepared. It is about training the participant’s mind to transfer his/her thinking and feelings into words in double quick time. The other 20% of public speeches are delivered after thorough and careful preparation, editing, rehearsals and practice.
