    \item   Preparation \& Planning: Why, Who, Where, When, What, \& How.
    \item   Structuring the content for maximum impact:
            \begin{itemize}
                \item   Introduction to the topic.
                \item   The middle part.
                        \begin{itemize}
                            \item   Aligned with the introduction.
                            \item   Main topics.
                            \item   Each main topic has sub-topics.
                            \item   Logical sequence.
                                    \begin{itemize}
                                        \item   What are the main points I need to address?
                                        \item   What does the audience need to know first/second etc?
                                        \item   What do they need to know by the end?
                                        \item   Are my main points structured in a logical/coherent way?
                                        \item   What evidence will I use to support these points?
                                    \end{itemize}
                        \end{itemize}
