[quote=Anonymous]And what is your strategy?

I generally enjoy public speaking and have earned a reputation for being good at it. However, at my workplace, it’s generally assumed that it only takes 2 hours to put together and deliver a good talk, and now that I’m giving a lot of them, I’ve decided that is bullshit - and because I’m not willing to get up in front of people and not do a good job, I find myself putting in a lot of effort on in my own time. I’m curious how much time other people take prepping a talk - from deciding what to cover to assembling slides, etc. as I prepare to advocate for more support for myself in this role.

For purposes or argument, assume I’m talking about presenting on a topic you are knowledgeable about but to a new audience that may require tweaking of the story-line and new content, with medium-high stakes (e.g. presenting at a professional meeting or to a new potential client, not a casual talk at a staff meeting or your debut on the TED stage).
