Introduction
According to the computer scientist and MIT professor Patrick Winston, our career success is determined by the knowledge we gain, how well we practice that knowledge, and our inherent talents.
Likewise, a successful speaker knows what they are talking about, has practiced their speech, and knows how to play with words and timing.
Winston was the director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and delivered numerous lectures on the art of speaking.
