This actually gives me some confidence that he knows what he's doing.

Just an anecdote here ...

I work in a senior professional/managerial position in a technical field where I am often making presentation to clients, at public meetings, and to governing bodies. I've had people tell me that I do a superb job in these presentations and question/answer sessions.

What's amazing about this is that I do very little preparation in advance of these meetings.

This is actually a secret to my success. I have found that extensive preparation makes me sound too rehearsed, and robotic. I have enough confidence to go into a meeting with very little preparation and come across as an open, honest, and passionate expert on whatever I'm discussing.

I'm no Donald Trump, but I can tell you something from my professional work ... Every successful person I know is like this.

I work hard on my slides, but never rehearse.

I find it funny how so many people seem rattled that he doesn’t act like a politician, when that is what makes him so effective.

Limbaugh says he doesn’t formally prepare for his shows.
