A thing that I'm realizing more and more is how few presentations are one-offs; that is, when you're developing a presentation, it's actually going to become part of your repertoire, and you're going to be able to use it again and again. Convention and conference speakers certainly reuse presentations, but the same applies to entrepreneurs (to investors) and employees (to senior stakeholders).

Rehearsal and practice became more palatable to me once I came to see individual presentations as permanent fixtures in my professional archive of works.

Agree. I was thinking about this today because I'm coming back next year to give a talk to this school about being a "Startup MBA" and how that presentation is applicable to any MBA program. Put in the work once, it pays dividends for a long time.
