Speak from what you know not what you want to know. Better to speak as a subject matter expert. Audiences know when you aren’t speaking from experience or ownership of your content. This will allow you to speak with passion.
As you own your content, your notes won’t be as paramount to your success,your passion will be. We’ve all watched someone read notes for a lecture and not engage with the audience. Much more engaging – a speaker who knows his content and only glances at his or her notes as they walk by the lectern.
