A short YouTube clip by TJ Walker identifying the number-one mistake novice speakers make: being boring by overwhelming audiences with too many points or data. He advises focusing on one idea at a time and limiting the number of distinct points in any single presentation—no more than a handful.

What is the number one mistake most novice speakers make and how can you avoid them? It's being boring. It's telling yourself. A speech is telling people everything. I know there's a point. Here's another point. There's another point and you're pounding people with data points and it's boring. Don't do that. The solution? Focus on one idea at a time. No more than a handful in any one presentation.
