To manage your speaking time effectively, focus on rehearsing with a timer beforehand. Practice helps you gauge how long each section takes and ensures smooth delivery. Use natural pauses to emphasize points while giving yourself time to stay on track. If you notice time running out, prioritize key messages and skip non-essential details. Always leave a buffer for audience engagement or unexpected delays to keep your speech well-paced and impactful.

In my first official Motivational talk ever, I actually ran away from it. Today, I run towards it (Oh yes, I love delivering such talks) ha ha.. and it fills me with so much of Joy and Bliss.. and I always felt my audience also have a joyful time.. What's my perspective? What am I sharing? I am sharing a point which suffices in a question?.. " Do you feel the joy and the sense of giving when you speak to audience?" I do.

No matter how many times I have spoken on a particular subject, I always have a one page list of bullet points that I plan to cover in the order I plan to cover them. It is easy for anyone to digress and get off track and a list with just a key word to remind you of the point you want to make will keep you organized and on track with your audience.

Keeping an interested audience engaged and delivering a relevant message requires excellent speaking time management. Establish your main ideas first, then organize your speech with a distinct introduction, body, and conclusion. To keep on subject and stay focused, utilize simple language. Keep an eye on audience reactions and, if necessary, modify your tone or tempo to keep their interest. Plan beforehand to make sure your material fits inside the given time, and set out time for audience questions or interaction to increase participation. Respecting the time of your audience and leaving a lasting impression are two benefits of ending on time with a powerful closing statement.

Couple of things I like to keep in mind especially when speaking to a larger audience: 1. Have a script 2. Practice 3. Don’t read your slides 4. Take intentional pause 5. Avoid fillers

I always plan my talks to take a maximum of 60% of the allotted time (often less), that way I can free flow and engage with the audience and never worrying about exceeding my time. Audience interaction is vital

Public speaking is like being a quarterback: you must know your material like a playbook and be able to present or answer any question without ever looking at your slides. Equally crucial is reading your audience, much like a quarterback reading the defense at the line of scrimmage. Pay attention to their facial expressions and body language. Are they engaged? Are they looking at their phones or laptops? If they seem disinterested or lost, like a the quarterback changing the play because the defense wasn't what they expected, adjust your approach—skip a slide, tell a story, or clarify a point. What motivates each audience is unique. You make your point by being an expert at your material and by being able to read the audience.

1. Set your objective and create an outline with important talking points. 2. Practice and rehearse. 3. Use a stopwatch or set digital reminders or alarm clock on vibrate to help you stay on track during your presentation. 4. Be adaptable. Engage the audience and be ready to make adjustments on the fly to stay on track with your presentation. 5. Read the audience throughout your presentation and leave some buffer time for you to be able to pivot when needed to re-engage the audience when/if needed.
