I've learned that giving talks can be really different for people. I asked @jennschiffer
how she prepared for talks and she said....
i write my conference talks in my head for like weeks in advance and will sometimes take notes in a personal slack i use. i don't really make slides until a few days before and leading up to the talk (slides are my least favorite part of giving talks) and i do not practice.
Note: i do not practice
I'm the exact opposite! I'll make my slides and then spend hours and hours running through the talk with friends. I tend to black out on stage so the more I have memorized (things I can grab onto), the more confident I feel.

You've been asked to give multiple talks in the past year. How does give talks? and how does one become good at it?
