So just exactly what does disaster look like to a speaker?
I think that we can all agree that disaster can take on many forms when it comes to delivering a speech in public. However, I think that if you are on a stage and you lose your train of thought and can’t remember what you wanted to say next, then that can count as a speaking disaster. This is something that can happen to any of us at any time.
We need to be ready to deal with it the next time that it happens.
