If you are stepping onto a stage at UNBOUND, or any stage on the planet, here is the advice.

You are building a forty-five or ninety minute journey. The two main things you need to know are where to take off and where to land.

In between, you are going to have to pivot. You are going to step off stage even though you have never stepped off stage. You are going to touch somebody's shoulder because you feel an emotional connection to that human in that moment.

Give yourself the freedom, earned by all the times you ran it through, to go completely away from your presentation. You already know where you are landing.
